12. Indemnification

12.1 Client Indemnification. Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Provider and its Representatives (each, a “Provider Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Provider Indemnitee resulting from any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Provider Indemnitee) that arise out of or result from, or are alleged to arise out of or result from:

‍
a) Client Data, including any Processing of Client Data by or on behalf of Provider in accordance with this Terms of Service;

‍
b) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Client or any Authorized User, including Provider’s compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Client or any Authorized User to the extent prepared without any contribution by Provider;

‍
c) allegation of facts that, if true, would constitute Client’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Terms of Service; or

‍
d) gross negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Client, any Authorized User, or any third party on behalf of Client or any Authorized User, in connection with this Terms of Service.

‍
12.2 Indemnification Procedure. Client (the “Indemnitor”) shall promptly notify Provider (the “Indemnitee”) in writing of any Action for which the Indemnitor believes the Indemnitee may be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to 12.1 or 12.2. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Action without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Action, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Action, including settling such Action after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 12.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this 12, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

‍
12.3 Mitigation. If any of the Software Services or Provider Materials or, if applicable Professional Services or Deliverables are, or in Provider’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Right, or if Client’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Software Services or Provider Materials or, if applicable, Professional Services or Deliverables is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Provider may, at its option and sole cost and expense:

‍
a) obtain the right for Client to continue to use the Software Services and Provider Materials or, if applicable, Professional Services and Deliverables materially as contemplated by this Terms of Service;

‍
b) modify or replace the Software Services and Provider Materials or, if applicable, the Professional Services or Deliverables, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Software Services and Provider Materials or, if applicable, Professional Services and Deliverables (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Software Services and Provider Materials or Professional Services and Deliverables, as applicable, under this Terms of Service; or

‍
c) by written notice to Client, terminate this Terms of Service with respect to all or part of the Software Services and Provider Materials with respect to all or part of the Professional Services and Deliverables, and require Client to immediately cease any use of the Software Services and Provider Materials or, if applicable, the Professional Services and Deliverables, or any specified part or feature thereof, provided that, subject to Client’s compliance with its post-termination obligations set forth in 14.4, Client will be entitled to a refund of the prorated Fees prepaid for Software Services or, if applicable, Professional Services scheduled after the effective date of such termination.

‍
12.4 Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 12 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND PROVIDER’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES AND PROVIDER MATERIALS OR, IF APPLICABLE, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES, OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS SAAS AGREEMENT INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving Client (regardless of whether Client is a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Terms of Service for which Provider’s prior written consent is required.

Provider and Client will each bear their own attorneys’ fees and pay an equal share of the associated fees and costs; however, the Arbitrator will be authorized to award reimbursement for reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, and arbitration fees and costs. The Arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing material factual findings and conclusions, and Provider and Client will each fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of service of such decision. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Provider and Client hereby waive certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a dispute were determined by litigation in court. Subject to the foregoing, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Terms of Service or the licenses granted hereunder or thereunder will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California in each case located in the city of San Francisco and County of San Francisco, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under 9 or, in the case of Client, 4.1, 5.3, or 7.1, would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

‍

A signed copy of the Order Form delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of the Order Form. The parties agree that the Order Form may be electronically signed. The parties agree that the electronic signatures appearing on the Order Form are the same as handwritten signatures for all purposes, including validity, enforceability and admissibility.
