- Zioteria’s Obligation. Subject to the Licensee indemnification set forth at Section 7.2 and the restrictions and limitations set forth herein, Zioteria shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensee, its officers, directors and employees from and against any costs or demands awarded against Licensee by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final judgment as a result of a claim or action by a third party against Licensee that the Zioteria Software or Documentation infringes a registered copyright, trademark, valid patent or other intellectual property right of a third party in North America, European Economic Area or Japan. The foregoing indemnity is conditioned on Licensee (i) promptly notifying Zioteria of such claim; (ii) permitting Zioteria to control the response thereto and the defence thereof, including any agreement relating to the settlement thereof, and (iii) assisting and cooperating with Zioteria, at Zioteria’s expense, in the defence or settlement thereof. Licensee may participate, at its own expense, in such defence directly or through counsel of its choice on a monitoring, non-controlling basis. Zioteria shall obtain Licensee’s prior written consent to any compromise or settlement of any claim which would require an admission of liability on the part of Licensee or which would subject Licensee to any injunction or other equitable relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Zioteria or its licensors be liable to indemnify, defend, settle or hold Licensee harmless from and against any or all claims which allege infringement of intellectual property that reads upon or is infringed by a generally recognized audio, video, technology or patent standard, including without limitation MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DV, Flash, VC-1, AAC, AC-3, DVCPRO or AVS (each including all profiles, options, parts or levels);
- Zioteria shall have no obligation under Section 7.1, and otherwise will have no liability for, any claim of infringement caused or alleged to be caused by: (i) the use or combination of the Zioteria Software with non-Zioteria software, hardware, data, or content, including but not limited to software, hardware, data, or content of Licensee; (ii) infringement that would have been avoided without the use or combination of the Zioteria Software with other non-Zioteria software, hardware, content, or data; (iii) the presence of any alteration or modification of the Zioteria Software by Licensee or any third party acting on Licensee's behalf; or (iv) the Licensee's continuing the allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed and provided with modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement.
- In the event that a claim of infringement of a valid North American, European Economic Area or Japanese software patent or copyright is made against Zioteria or Licensee or if Zioteria reasonably believes that such a claim will be made, Zioteria, at its option and in lieu of indemnification, may (a) procure for Licensee the right to use the Zioteria Software without patent or copyright infringement; (b) modify the Zioteria Software to make it non-infringing; (c) replace the Zioteria Software with substantially equivalent software that is non-infringing; or (d) direct Licensee to cease use of the Zioteria Software, and refund to Licensee a percentage of the aggregate fees received for such Zioteria Software that are the subject of such a claim, based on a five (5) year straight line depreciation
- The foregoing Sections 7.1-7.3 set forth the exclusive remedy and entire liability and obligation of Zioteria with respect to third party claims against Licensee alleging intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.
- Licensee Obligation. Except for the infringement claims set forth in Section 7.1, Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold Zioteria, its directors, officers, agents and employees harmless from any claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever by a third party against Zioteria arising as a result of Licensee’s use or operation of the Zioteria Software. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the scope of the immediately preceding sentence, Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold Zioteria, its directors, officers, agents and employees harmless from any third party claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever arising from or related to the display, broadcast, reproduction, performance or other use or distribution of audio, visual, graphical and textual information developed by or on behalf of Licensee and not included in the Zioteria Software.
