THIS SECTION STATES EFGREs' AND ITS LICENSORS’ ENTIRE OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM FOR INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
10.2 By Customer. If any action is instituted by a third party against Efgres (a) arising out of or relating to Customer’s use of the Synchro Service, including without limitation (i) any breach or alleged breach by Customer of any of its representations, warranties, or obligations set forth in this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any applicable law or regulation governing or otherwise applicable to Customer’s industry, business, or operations; (iii) any damage or loss caused by negligence, fraud, dishonesty or willful misconduct by Customer or its employees, or agents; or (iv) any claims associated with the provision of services by Customer to its Borrowers; or (b) alleging that the Customer Data, or the use of Customer Data pursuant to this Agreement, infringes the intellectual property or other right of a third party or otherwise causes harm to a third party, Customer will defend such action at its own expense on behalf of Efgres and shall pay all damages attributable to such claim which are finally awarded against Efgres or paid in settlement of such claim.
10.3 Indemnification Procedure. Any party that is seeking to be indemnified under this Section 9 (an “Indemnified Party”) for a third party Claim must (i) promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Claim; and (ii) give the Indemnifying Party the sole control over the defense of such Claim. However, if an Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly, the Indemnifying Party will be relieved of its obligations under this Section 9 only if and to the extent that its ability to defend the Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise a Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior approval of any such settlement or compromise only if (a) such settlement involves no finding or admission of any breach by an Indemnified Party of any obligation to any third party, (b) such settlement has no effect on any other claim that may be made against an Indemnified Party or any defense that an Indemnified Party may assert in any such claim, and (c) the sole relief provided in connection with such settlement is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. Upon the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party may, at its option and expense, participate in the defense of the Claim with counsel of its own choosing.
11.1 Term. There is no set term or automatic expiration. The subscription remains active until cancelled.
11.2 Cancellation without Cause. Customer may cancel the subscription at any time with or without cause. However, the subscription will typically remain active until the end of a Billing Cycle and all fees incurred during the billing cycle must be paid.
11.3 Termination for Cause. Efgres may terminate this Agreement at any time if Customer party commits a material breach of this Agreement and does not cure such breach within fifteen (15) days of written notice specifying the nature of such breach (except for breaches by a party of its confidentiality obligations or payment obligations, for which the cure period will be five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of such breach, including by an on-screen non-payment notification to Customer within the Synchro Service). A confidentiality breach is deemed cured, for purposes of this Section 10.3, if the Customer (i) mitigates the damages resulting from the breach to the extent reasonably feasible; and (ii) takes reasonable steps, such as modifying its internal policies and practices, to prevent such a breach from reoccurring. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Efgres may, in its reasonable business judgment, determine that a confidentiality breach was sufficiently material that it wishes to terminate this Agreement without permitting a cure, in which case the Efgres shall so notify Customer and this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the five (5) day notice period. Efgres may also terminate or suspend Customer’s account and this Agreement immediately, without prior notice, if Efgres reasonably determines that Customer is conducting an illegal business or if Efgres is instructed to terminate or suspend Customer’s account by federal or state regulatory authorities.
