If a third Party makes a claim against either You or TRS Holdings (“Recipient” which may refer to You or TRS Holdings depending upon which Party received the Material as hereinafter defined), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, service, data, program or material (any of the foregoing, “Material”) furnished by either You or TRS Holdings (“Discloser” which may refer to You or TRS Holdings depending on which Party provided the Material), and used by the Recipient directly infringes its intellectual property rights, the Discloser, at its sole cost and expense, will defend the Recipient against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Discloser, if the Recipient does the following:
If the Discloser believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, the Discloser may choose to either modify the Material to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, the Discloser may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees the Recipient may have paid to the other Party for such Material. If such return materially affects TRS Holdings’s ability to meet its obligations under the relevant Quote, then TRS Holdings may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, terminate the Quote. The Discloser will not indemnify the Recipient (i) if the Recipient alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Discloser’s Program Documentation or if the Recipient uses a version of the Materials which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was provided to the Recipient; or (ii) to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon (a) any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by the Discloser, or (b) any Material from a third party portal or other external source that is accessible to You within or from the service (e.g., a third party Web page accessed via a hyperlink). TRS Holdings will not indemnify You (i) to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any Material with any products or Services not provided by TRS Holdings; (ii) for infringement caused by Your actions against any third party if the Services as delivered to You and used in accordance with these Terms would not otherwise infringe any third party intellectual property rights; or (iii) for any infringement claim that is based on: (1) a patent that You were made aware of prior to the date of the Quote (pursuant to a claim, demand, or notice); or (2) Your actions prior to the effective date of the Quote. This section provides the parties’ exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.
