Action by Third Parties Sample Clauses

The "Action by Third Parties" clause defines how the involvement or actions of individuals or entities not directly party to the contract are addressed within the agreement. Typically, this clause clarifies whether third parties can enforce any terms of the contract or if the parties to the contract are liable for actions taken by third parties, such as subcontractors or agents. Its core function is to delineate the rights and responsibilities concerning third-party involvement, thereby preventing unintended obligations or liabilities from arising due to the actions of those outside the contractual relationship.
Action by Third Parties. This Agreement is not intended to confer legally enforceable benefits on any person who is not a party to it and no third party may enforce any of the provisions in this Agreement.
Action by Third Parties. Except as provided in Section 8.5 of this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or any of them, for any failure of any third parties to comply with the obligations of those parties pursuant to any agreements; however, the foregoing shall not apply if the General Partner was grossly negligent or failed to act in good faith in contracting with any such third party.
Action by Third Parties. (a) If any warning letter or other notice of infringement is received by a Party, or legal suit or other action is brought against a Party, alleging that the use of Results or the manufacture, importation, use, marketing or sale of any product or process that may be licensed pursuant to this Agreement, infringes the rights of any person, that Party shall promptly provide full details to the other Parties and the Parties shall discuss the best way to respond. (b) In respect of any suit arising in the country within which it operates, each Service User (the “Home Service User”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend such suit and shall have the right to settle with such third party, provided that if any action or proposed settlement involves the making of any statement, express or implied, concerning the validity of any rights in the Results, the consent of the other Parties must be obtained before taking such action or making such settlement. If the Home Service User shall decline to defend any third party suit for infringement, the other Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do so, provided that if any action or proposed settlement involves the making of any statement, express or implied, concerning the validity of any rights in the Results, the consent of the Home Service User must be obtained before taking such action or making such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). In situations where more than one Service User operates in a particular country then the Service Users operating in that country shall, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, decide among themselves whether or not they wish to deal with such suits. In the event that they fail to agree on a course of action the matter will be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of Clause 21 of this Agreement.

  • Claims by Third Parties The obligations and liabilities of an indemnifying party under any provision of this Agreement with respect to claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) Whenever any indemnified party shall have received notice that a claim has been asserted or threatened against such indemnified party, which, if valid, would subject the indemnifying party to an indemnity obligation under this Agreement, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such claim in the manner described in Paragraph 22; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement unless, and only to the extent that, such failure caused the damages for which the indemnifying party is obligated to be greater than they would have been had the indemnified party given timely notice. (b) The indemnifying party or its designee will have the right but not the obligation, to assume the defense of any claim described in Paragraph 6 or 7 above, provided, however, the indemnified party shall have the right at its option to defend and to compromise or settle such claim which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such claim within 15 days after receipt of notice of a claim pursuant to Paragraph 22, the indemnified party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying party's cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof and provided, however, that the indemnified party shall not enter into any such compromise or settlement without the written consent of the indemnifying party. In the event the indemnified party assumes defense of the claim, the indemnified party will keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its consent, but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment beyond review or appeal, for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Any party who does not undertake the defense of a claim may, at its own expense, retain such additional attorneys and other advisors as it shall deem necessary, which attorneys and advisors will be permitted by the party undertaking such defense, and its attorneys, to observe the defense of such claim.
