10. Indemnity
By Compliance Park: Compliance Park agrees to and shall defend, indemnify and if applicable, hold harmless, Customer and Customer’s respective officers, agents, partners and employees from and against any and all third party damages and losses based on or arising out of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding (“Claim”) asserted against Customer by a third party, not a party to this Agreement, based on a claim that the Service when used as licensed hereunder, infringes any valid United States patent or copyright of such third party, (the “IP Rights”) but only to the extent that Customer’s use of the Service was in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such indemnity by Compliance Park does not extend to Customer’s content. Compliance Park’s indemnification obligations are conditioned upon Customer: (a) giving Compliance Park prompt written notice of any Claim for which Customer is seeking indemnity hereunder, provided, however, that any delay in providing such notice shall not relieve the Compliance Park of its obligations to the extent Compliance Park is prejudiced by such delay; (b) Compliance Park has sole control of the defense of the Claim and will not settle a claim without consent of the Customer, if such settlement involves an admission of guilt or any financial or performance obligations; and (c) Customer provides to Compliance Park, at Compliance Park’s request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Compliance Park’s obligations. If the Service becomes or, in Compliance Park’ opinion, is likely to become the subject of an injunction, Compliance Park may, at its option, (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Service, (ii) modify such Service so that it becomes non-infringing without substantially compromising its functionality, or if (i) and (ii) are not reasonably available to Compliance Park, then (iii) terminate Customer’s license to the allegedly infringing Service and refund any pre-paid amounts for the unused portion of the then current term. The foregoing are Customer’s sole remedies for any infringement of intellectual property rights.
By Customer: Upon demand by Compliance Park, Customer agrees to and shall defend, indemnify and if applicable, hold harmless Compliance Park and Compliance Park subsidiaries, affiliates, and licensors and its’ respective officers, agents, partners and employees, from and against any loss, liability, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, expenses, claims, or demands, made by any third party due to or arising out of Customer’s use of the Service in breach of the licensed right, Customer’s content and/or from Customer’s breach of the Agreement.
11. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be responsible for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations to pay fees) caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, wars, riots, labor strikes, natural disasters, the infrastructure of the internet, unauthorized network intrusions, or any law, regulation, ordinance or other act or order of any court, government or governmental agency. The Services are hosted on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). Therefore, Compliance Park service obligations hereunder are necessarily dependent on the continued availability of AWS. Compliance Park will not be responsible to Customer for failures of AWS. Any delays resulting from Customer’s failure to perform or fulfill its responsibilities (such as not having systems ready or failing to provide necessary data) will not change fees due to Compliance Park.
