Intellectual Property Rights Infringement HP will defend and/or settle any claims against Customer that allege that an HP-branded product or service as supplied under this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. HP will rely on Customer’s prompt notification of the claim and cooperation with our defense. HP may modify the product or service so as to be non-infringing and materially equivalent, or we may procure a license. If these options are not available, we will refund to Customer the amount paid for the affected product in the first year or the depreciated value thereafter or, for support services, the balance of any pre-paid amount or, for professional services, the amount paid. HP is not responsible for claims resulting from any unauthorized use of the products or services.
Intellectual Property Infringement a. If a third party makes a claim against Ordering Activity that the Appian Software directly infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriate any trade secret (“IP Claim”); Contractor will to the extent permitted by 28 U.S.C. 516 (i) assist in defending Ordering Activity against the IP Claim at Contractor’s cost and expense, and (ii) pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) finally awarded against Ordering Activity by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Contractor arising out of such IP Claim; provided that: (I) Ordering Activity promptly notifies Contractor in writing no later than sixty (60) days after Ordering Activity’s receipt of notification of a potential claim and (II) Ordering Activity provides Contractor, at Contractor’s request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Contractor’s obligations under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (I) the use of a superseded or altered release of the Appian Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Appian Software, (II) the modification of the Appian Software, (III) the use of the Appian Software other than in accordance with the then current Documentation or this Agreement, or (IV) any materials or information provided to Contractor by Ordering Activity, for which Ordering Activity shall be solely responsible. b. If the Appian Software is held to infringe or are believed by Contractor to infringe, Contractor shall have the option, at its expense, to (i) replace or modify the Appian Software to be non-infringing, or (ii) obtain for Ordering Activity a license to continue using the Appian Software. If it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the foregoing options, then Contractor may terminate the license for the infringing Appian Software and refund the license fees paid for the Appian Software upon return of the Appian Software by Ordering Activity. This section states Contractor’s entire liability and Ordering Activity’s exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement; provided, however, if the license is for a cloud subscription described in Section B of this Agreement, then Appian shall only refund to Ordering Activity those license fees that were pre-paid and unearned at the time Appian terminates the license.
Intellectual Property Claims Borrower is the sole owner of, or otherwise has the right to use, the Intellectual Property. Except as described on Schedule 5.9,(i) each of the material Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, (ii) no material part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and (iii) no claim has been made to Borrower that any material part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party. Exhibit D is a true, correct and complete list of each of Borrower’s Patents, registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights, and material agreements under which Borrower licenses Intellectual Property from third parties (other than shrink-wrap software licenses), together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date. Borrower is not in material breach of, nor has Borrower failed to perform any material obligations under, any of the foregoing contracts, licenses or agreements and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no third party to any such contract, license or agreement is in material breach thereof or has failed to perform any material obligations thereunder.
