The Responding Party will cooperate in the other party's efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Confidential Information. If the Responding Party is compelled as a matter of law to disclose the Confidential Information, it may disclose to the party compelling the disclosure only that part of the Confidential Information as is required by law to be disclosed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Content is not included in Confidential Information as defined above.

Customer shall give Vendor one (1) week notice in the event that such routinely schedule maintenance conflicts with its operations at a critical time. Upon the receipt of such notice, the parties shall work together to find a mutually convenient time to perform such maintenance. Vendor further reserves the right on approximately a quarterly basis to issue new releases in which Vendor adds functionality to the Service. Customer acknowledges that these periodic major releases can take several hours to complete (up to eight hours). The time necessary to provide such periodic releases shall not be counted in any System Availability calculations. Vendor shall consult with the Customer and, unless otherwise agreed upon, shall install such major releases during routinely scheduled down time as set forth above. Customer shall be apprised of software upgrades and or patch releases to the Service; in addition, Vendor shall perform IQ validation with respect thereto, and provide Customer with copies of any applicable validation reports.

These patches, fixes and service releases shall be performed in accordance with the Application Support Services described in Schedule C – Application Support and in accordance with the change control process.
In the event that Vendor, in its sole discretion, determines that any unscheduled maintenance is necessary, Vendor will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer as soon as it becomes aware of such need.
Vendor warrants to Customer during the Term of this Agreement that the Service will comply with the material functionality described in the aaS Materials and that such functionality will be maintained in all material respects in subsequent upgrades to the Service. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Vendor’s breach of this warranty shall be that Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such errors or modify the Service to achieve the material functionality described in the aaS Materials within a reasonable period of time. However, Vendor shall have no obligation with respect to this warranty claim unless notified of such claim within (30) days of the first material functionality problem. Further, Vendor shall have no obligation with respect to this warranty claim, and Customer may not terminate the Agreement, where any alleged nonconformity is due to User error as reasonably determined by the parties after investigation and analysis by Vendor’s Product Support Center. Vendor does not warrant that the Service will be will be free of non-material errors, bugs, or minor interruption, or that all such errors will be corrected.
Vendor warrants during the Term of this Agreement, that it will, at a minimum, utilize and maintain the backup procedures listed in Schedule D annexed hereto (and hereby incorporated by reference). In the event of a breach of this provision, Vendor will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct Customer Data or restore Customer Data within three (3) business days (or as otherwise agreed in writing between the parties depending upon the back-up options selected by Customer). Provided Vendor complies with the procedures set forth in Schedule D, it shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation with respect to this warranty.
Vendor warrants that it is the sole owner of and or has full power and authority to grant the license and use of the Service and other rights granted by the Agreement to Customer with respect to the Service and that neither the performance by Customer in its utilization of the Service, nor the license of and authorized use by Customer of the Service as described herein, will in any way constitute an infringement or other violation of any copyright, trade secret, trademark, patent, invention, proprietary information, non-disclosure, or other rights of any third party.

Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend at its expense and indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each an “Indemnified Party”), in accordance with the procedures described in this Section, from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses paid to or for the benefit of an unaffiliated third party (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or in connection with any such third party claim for: (i) the death or bodily injury of any person caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) the damage, loss or destruction of any real or tangible personal property caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party.
Vendor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer for Losses Customer incurs as a direct result of any unaffiliated third party claim based on any claim that the Service infringes any U.S. copyright, trademark or trade secret, except to the extent resulting from (i) Customer’s modification of the Service or combination by Customer the Services with other products or services if the Service would not have been infringing but for such combination or modification, (ii) Customer’s use of the Service in a manner not authorized herein or for which it was not designed, (iii) Customer’s failure to use an updated non-infringing version of the applicable intellectual property to the extent Customer was notified that the update cured an infringement, (iv) changes to the Service made by Vendor at the direction of the Customer or (v) Customer Data. If any item for which Vendor has an indemnification obligation under this Section becomes, or in Vendor’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation claim or proceeding, Vendor will, in addition to indemnifying Customer as provided in this Section, promptly take the following actions, at no additional charge to Customer, in the listed order of priority: (a) secure the right to continue using the item or (b) replace or modify the item to make it non-infringing. If neither of such actions can be accomplished by Vendor using commercially reasonable efforts, and only in such event, Vendor will remove the item from the Service and the applicable Service fee will be equitably adjusted to reflect such removal. This Section 13.2 states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Vendor’s infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property of a third party.
Customer shall defend and indemnify Vendor and its Third Party Vendors against any and all Losses incurred by Vendor and its Third Party Vendors arising out of or in connection with a claim by a third party (i) alleging that the Customer Data or the Customer Trademarks, or any use thereof, infringes the rights of, or has caused harm to, a third party, or (ii) arising out of Customer’s breach of Sections 7.5 and 7.8.

The party seeking indemnification shall give prompt notice of the claim and will tender the defense; provided, however, that such party’s failure to provide notification shall not affect the indemnifying party’s indemnification obligations except to the extent that the failure to notify delays or prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend the applicable claim. The indemnifying party shall conduct the defense and shall have control of the litigation, and the indemnified party shall cooperate in defending against the claim. The indemnified party shall have the right, at any time and at its own expense, to participate in the defense of the claim with counsel of its own choosing. The indemnifying party shall not make any settlement of the claim that results in any liability or imposes any obligation on the indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party fails to (i) respond to the notice of a claim, or (ii) assume the defense of a claim, the party seeking indemnification shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the reasonable cost, expense, and risk of the indemnifying party, and the indemnifying shall promptly reimburse the indemnified party for all such costs and expenses.

Customer acknowledges that some of the Services may be performed by Vendor or its third-party suppliers outside the country(ies) where the Services are obtained, and information pertaining to Customer’s use of the Services may be incorporated into Vendor’s global database(s) to assist Vendor in providing the Services. Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining any required consents to such off-shore support from Customer’s employees and other end users of the Services.
Vendor will provide the Services at the Service Levels set forth in the Schedules, if any, subject to all requirements and exceptions provided in the Schedules for each Service Level.

The parties will then cooperate in good faith to finalize the plan within ten (10) business days. The termination assistance/data transfer plan will not become part of this Agreement. Instead, it is intended to further describe aspects of the Services and in the event the final plan involves any chances in scope, such changes will be addressed as part of the change control process.

No text or information set forth on any Purchase Order Form, preprinted form or document shall add to or vary the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the invalid or unenforceable provision(s), with all other provisions remaining in full force and effect. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between Vendor and Customer as a result of this Agreement or use of the Service. The failure of Vendor to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Vendor in writing Vendor reserves the right to assign its right to receive and collect payments hereunder. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Vendor.
