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the foregoing, Contractor shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (I) the use of a superseded or altered release of the Appian Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Appian Software, (II)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.
