Common use of Control of Defence Clause in Contracts

Control of Defence. If the Vendor fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to contest, settle or pay the amount claimed. Whether or not the Vendor assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the Vendor shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the liability of the Vendor shall be limited to the proposed settlement amount if any such consent is not obtained within a reasonable time after the request therefor because of the unreasonableness or delay of the Purchaser.
