Provider shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “Customer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Customer Indemnitee resulting from any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of Customer Indemnitee) that (a) arises out of or results from Customer’s or an Authorized User’s use of the Offering in accordance with the Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights and (b) that arises out of or results from Provider’s gross negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) in connection with the Agreement and Services provided by Provider thereunder. The foregoing indemnification in Section 11.2(a) above shall not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement or misappropriation arises from:

(i) Provider’s authorized use under this Agreement of any Third-Party Materials or Customer Data;

(ii) access to or use of the Offering or Provider Materials in combination with any hardware, system, Software, network, or other materials or service not provided by Provider or specified for Customer’s use in the Documentation;

(iii) modification of the Provider Materials other than: (i) by or on behalf of Provider; or (ii) with Provider’s written approval in accordance with Provider’s written specification;

(iv) failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements, or enhancements made available to Customer by or on behalf of Provider; or

(v) act, omission, or other matter for which Customer indemnifies Provider in Section 11.2, whether or not the same results in any Action against or Losses by any Provider Indemnitee.

11.2 Customer Indemnification.

Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Provider and its Subcontractors and Affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “Provider Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Provider Indemnitee resulting from any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Provider Indemnitee) that arise out of or result from:

(a) Customer Data, including any Processing of Customer Data by or on behalf of Provider in accordance with the Agreement (except where such Action results from Provider’s use of the Customer Data in violation of this Agreement);

(b) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, Software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User;

(c) Provider’s compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User to the extent prepared without any contribution by Provider;

11.3 Indemnification Procedure.

Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any Action for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, as the case may be. The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Action on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Action, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Action, including settling such Action after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case, in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 11.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 11, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

12. Limitations of Liability.

12.1 EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.3, IN NO EVENT WILL PROVIDER OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY: (a) LOSS OF PRODUCTION, USE, BUSINESS, REVENUE OR PROFIT ; (b) IMPAIRMENT, INABILITY TO USE OR LOSS, INTERRUPTION, OR DELAY OF THE OFFERING; (c) LOSS, DAMAGE, CORRUPTION, OR RECOVERY OF DATA, OR BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY; (d) COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES; (e) LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION; OR (f) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE LOSSES OR DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PERSONS WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES, OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE.
