Aheeva shall indemnify and defend Subscriber from and against all claims, brought against Subscriber by a third-party alleging that Subscriber’s use of the Aheeva Services as permitted by this Agreement infringes or misappropriates a third-party copyright, trade secret, trademark or patent (“IP Claim”); provided Subscriber: (a) promptly notifies Aheeva of all allegations of any such IP Claim, (b) grants Aheeva exclusive control over the defense and settlement of any such IP Claim, and (c) gives Aheeva any information it reasonably requests in connection with the defense of the allegation. If Aheeva receives notice or information about the IP Claim, Aheeva may in its discretion and at no cost to Subscriber: (i) modify the Aheeva Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, (ii) obtain a license for Subscriber’s continued use of such Aheeva Services in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Subscriber’s subscriptions for such Aheeva Services upon thirty (30) days’ written notice and refund Subscriber any prepaid and unused fees covering the remainder of the Services Term of the terminated subscriptions. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if: (1) the allegation does not state with specificity that the Aheeva Services are the basis of the IP Claim against Subscriber; (2) an IP Claim against Subscriber arises from the use or combination of the Aheeva Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by Aheeva, if the Aheeva Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (3) an IP Claim against Subscriber arises from Aheeva Services for which there is no charge; or (4) an IP Claim against Subscriber arises from Third-Party Content, a Third-Party Product or Subscriber’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.
3. Section 17.2 states Aheeva’s sole liability to, and Subscriber’s exclusive remedy against, Aheeva for any IP Claim.
