12. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Quiltt shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify Customer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all Losses, brought by or resulting from claims by third parties which are based on or arising out of any actual or alleged (i) negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of the terms of this Agreement by, Quiltt or any of its Representatives, (ii) violation of any applicable law by Quiltt or any of its Representatives; or (iii) infringement of any third party’s US Intellectual Property Rights (an “Infringement Claim”) as a result of using the Quiltt Services, the Applications (excluding any Third-Party Application) or the Quiltt Platform in accordance with this Agreement. However, Quiltt has no obligation under this Section 12(a) to the extent that any Infringement Claim arises out of or results from:

(A) any combination of the Quiltt Services, the Applications and/or the Quiltt Platform with any hardware, system or other software not provided or authorized in writing by Quiltt, if such infringement would not have occurred but for such combination;

(B) any modification of the Quiltt Services, the Applications and/or the Quiltt Platform not provided or authorized in writing by Quiltt, or Customer’s negligence, abuse, misapplication, or misuse of the Quiltt Services, the Applications and/or the Quiltt Platform, if such infringement would not have occurred but for such modification, neglect, abuse, misapplication or misuse; or

(C) any breach by Customer of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

In addition, if an Infringement Claim is made by a third party against Customer or if Quiltt believes that a likelihood of such an Infringement Claim exists, Quiltt, in a reasonable exercise of its discretion, shall either procure for Customer the right to continue using the affected Quiltt Services, Applications and/or Quiltt Platform, modify them to make them non-infringing while still able to meet their functionality, or replace them with non-infringing services or applications of like functionality. If none of the foregoing is reasonably available to Quiltt, Quiltt may terminate this Agreement, in which case Customer shall immediately cease use of the Quiltt Services, the Applications and/or the Quiltt Platform in accordance with Section 11(c) and Quiltt shall refund to Customer a pro-rata portion of the fees that were pre-paid in connection with the remainder of the then-current Initial Subscription Term or Renewal Subscription Term, as applicable.  

(b) Customer shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify Quiltt and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all Losses brought by or resulting from claims by third parties which are based on or arising out of any actual or alleged: (i) negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement (including, without limitation, breach of any applicable Third-Party Application Terms) by Customer or any of its Representatives or End Users, (ii) violation of any applicable law by Customer or any of its Representatives, or (iii) the use of the Quiltt Services, the Applications and/or the Quiltt Platform in violation of this Agreement.

(e) Entire Agreement; Conflicts.  This Agreement, including these Terms of Services together with the Orders and any Third-Party Application Terms, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Service, Third-Party Application Terms, and the terms of any Order: (i) the Third-Party Application Terms control and govern with respect to the applicable Third-Party Application, and (ii) the terms of an Order control over any conflicting terms of these Terms of Service to the extent such Order expresses an intent to override provisions in these Terms of Service.

(f) No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as may be specified in Third-Party Application Terms, if applicable, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns and nothing else in this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any other party any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(g) Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of any part of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(h) Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(i) Force Majeure.  The obligations of a party (other than payment) will be suspended by the occurrence of any event beyond its reasonable control and not caused by its negligence that renders its performance impossible including acts of God, war, fire, flood, accident, strike, casualty, power failures, governmental acts, orders, or restrictions, or inability to obtain suitable and sufficient labor and materials.  The party invoking force majeure shall (i) send written notice of the event to the other within a reasonable time after the invoking party knew or should have known that performance would be delayed or prevented due to the force majeure and (ii) take reasonable steps to limit the duration and effect of any such force majeure.  

(j) Equitable Relief.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement relating to the other party’s Intellectual Property Rights or Confidential Information would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to seek 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.

(k) Export Controls. Customer shall not import, export, re-export, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any part of the Quiltt Services, the Applications, or the Quiltt Platform or any underlying intellectual Property Rights, information, or technology except with Quiltt’s prior written approval and in full compliance with all United States, foreign, and other applicable export control laws and regulations.

(l) Counterparts.  An Order may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of an Order delivered by e-mail or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of an Order.
