  9. INDEMNIFICATION.

    9.1. Indemnification by Llama. Subject to Section 9.2, Llama will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer and its officers, directors, managers, and employees from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred in connection with any third-party action, claim, or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) alleging that the use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates any third-party Intellectual Property Rights (“IP Infringement Claim”); provided, however, that the foregoing obligations shall be subject to Customer: (i) promptly notifying Llama of the Claim (provided that failure to provide prompt written notice of the Claim will not alleviate Llama of its obligations under this Section 9.1 to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claim); (ii) providing Llama, at Llama’s expense, with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Claim; and (iii) providing Llama with sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise.

    9.2. Exceptions to Llama Indemnification Obligations. Llama shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless the Customer for an IP Infringement Claim to the extent arising from or related to: (a) use by Customer or any Authorized User of the Services not in accordance with this Agreement, or in any manner or for any purpose for which the Services was not designed; (b) any unauthorized modifications, alterations, or implementations of the Services made by or at the request of Customer; or (c) any use of the Services in combination with unauthorized modules, apparatus, hardware, software, or services not supplied or specified in writing by Llama.

    9.3. Infringement Claims. In the event that Llama reasonably determines that the Services are likely to be the subject of an IP Infringement Claim, Llama shall have the right (but not the obligation), at its own expense and option, to: (i) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the Services as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace the infringing components of the Services with other components with the same or similar functionality that are reasonably acceptable to Customer; or (iii) suitably modify the applicable Services so that it is non-infringing and reasonably acceptable to Customer. If none of the foregoing options is available to Llama on commercially reasonable terms, Llama may terminate this Agreement without further liability to Customer, in which case Llama shall promptly provide Customer with a pro-rata refund of any Fees paid, but not used, by Customer. This Section 9.3, together with the indemnity provided under Section 9.1, states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Llama’s sole and exclusive liability, regarding infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of a third party.

    9.4. Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Llama and its officers, directors, managers, and employees from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with any Claim: (a) arising from Customer’s, or its Authorized Users’, gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) arising from Customer’s, or its Authorized Users’, breach of the Agreement; (c) arising from any Customer Content, including any asserting that such Customer Content infringes, violates, or misappropriates any third-party Intellectual Property Rights; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations shall be subject to Llama: (i) promptly notifying Customer of the Claim (provided that failure to provide prompt written notice of the Claim will not alleviate Customer of its obligations under this Section 9.4 to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claim); (ii) providing Customer, at Customer’s expense, with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Claim; and (iii) providing Customer with sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise.

    9.5. Insurance. Customer shall maintain, at its own cost, general liability and other appropriate insurance in an amount appropriate to the nature and scope of its business, products, and services, which is at least in an amount and of a quality reasonable and customary in Customer’s industry for companies of comparable size and activities.

No Open Source Software is licensed under any provision of this Agreement under which Llama grants Customer any license to use the Services; instead, each item of Open Source Software is licensed under the terms of the end user license that accompanies such Open Source Software (for the purposes of this section, each an “OSS License”).

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

    10.4. Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate or be deemed as a waiver by such Party of any such right or remedy; nor shall a waiver by a Party of any provision of this Agreement on one occasion be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

    10.5. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard for choice of law provisions thereof.

    10.6. Exclusive Forum.

    10.12. Force Majeure. Except for Customer’s obligations to pay any sums due hereunder, neither Party shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, earthquakes, strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes, shortages of materials or resources, invasions, riots, closing of public highways, civil unrest, war, acts of terrorism, mass disease, epidemic or pandemic (e.g., COVID-19), public health requirements, government-imposed quarantines or other governmental interventions.

    10.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all other agreements which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and commitments with respect thereto.
