Intellectual Property Infringement.  Dasera, if notified promptly in writing and given authority, control, information and assistance at Dasera’s expense for defense and settlement of same, shall defend Customer and its Affiliates against any third party action, suit or proceeding brought against Customer or its Affiliates so far as it is based on a claim that the use of the Dasera Solutions infringes a United States patent or copyright, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its Affiliates for (i) all attorneys’ fees, and court or tribunal costs incurred by Dasera with respect to defense and settlement of such third party claim, (ii) any judgments, fines, costs and penalties awarded by any court or tribunal against Dasera and/or its customers, including Customer and its Affiliates, for such third party claim and (iii) any amounts paid in settlement of such third party claim as mutually agreed by Dasera and the third party in such claim.  If Dasera reasonably believes that use of the Dasera Solutions is likely to be enjoined, or if the Dasera Solutions are held to infringe such patent or copyright and all use of such Dasera Solutions are thereby enjoined, Dasera shall, at its expense and at its sole option, (i) procure for Customer and its Affiliates the right to continue using the Dasera Solutions, (ii) replace the Dasera Solutions with other non-infringing software of substantially equivalent functionality or (iii) modify the Dasera Solutions so that there is no infringement, provided that such modified software provides substantially equivalent functionality.  If, in Dasera’s reasonable opinion, the remedies above are infeasible or commercially impracticable, Dasera may, in its sole discretion, terminate these General Terms and refund Customer a pro-rated amount of the applicable Fees for the Dasera Solutions pre-paid by Customer covering the whole months that would have remained, absent such early termination, in the Term following the effective date of such early termination.  Customer shall not settle any matter without the prior written approval of Dasera.
  2. Exceptions.  The indemnification obligation in this Section 10 will not apply to the extent the infringement is caused by any of the following: (i) the use of a superseded or altered release of the Dasera Solutions if the claim would have been avoided by the use of a then-current unaltered release of the Dasera Solutions, (ii) the Dasera Solutions are modified in an unauthorized manner by Customer, its Affiliates or the Authorized Users, or a third party not authorized by Dasera, (iii) the Dasera Solutions are combined by Customer, its Affiliates or the Authorized Users with other software, hardware, application or process not authorized by Dasera, (iv) the Dasera Solutions are used by Customer, its Affiliates or the Authorized Users in violation of these General Terms or the Documentation, or (v) any materials, data or information, including the Customer Data, provided by Customer and/or its Affiliates.

FOR CLARITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8.  The limitations of liability and exclusions of damages in this Section 11 form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and shall survive and apply even if any remedy specified in these General Terms is found to have failed its essential purpose.

  5. Amendments and Waivers.  Dasera reserves the right at any time to modify these General Terms, including any support guidelines and service level schedule, and to impose new or additional terms or conditions on Customer’s use of the Dasera Solutions.  If Dasera makes a material adverse change to these General Terms, Dasera will provide Customer with reasonable notice prior to the change taking effect, unless it would not be reasonable to do so due to circumstances arising from legal, regulatory or governmental action; to address user security, user privacy or technical integrity concerns; to avoid service disruptions to other users; or due to a force majeure outside of Dasera’s reasonable control.  Customer can review the most current version of the Dasera General Terms at any time by visiting Dasera’s website. The materially revised Agreement will become effective on the date set forth in Dasera’s notice, and all other changes will become effective upon posting of the change. If Customer or any Authorized User accesses or uses the Dasera Solutions after the effective date, that access or use will constitute Customer’s acceptance of any revised terms and conditions.  In the event that Dasera does make material adverse changes to these General Terms, Customer will have the right to terminate these General Terms, in which case Dasera will provide Customer a pro rata refund of any pre-paid Fees for Customer’s then-current paid Term.  Dasera shall not be liable to Customer for any modifications to these General Terms made in accordance with this Section 14.5.  Except as set forth above, no waiver under these General Terms will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party being deemed to have granted the waiver.
  6. Severability.  If any provision of these General Terms is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the parties’ intentions underlying the unenforceable provision, and the remaining provisions of these General Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
  7. Assignment.  Dasera may subcontract the Dasera Solutions cloud hosting to its authorized contractor without Customer’s consent, provided that Dasera will remain responsible for its contractor’s compliance with these General Terms.  Dasera may assign or transfer these General Terms, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate or in connection with any acquisition, consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or other business combination, or by operation of law without Customer’s consent and without providing notice. Customer may assign or transfer these General Terms to an Affiliate or by business combination, operation of law or otherwise without Dasera’s prior written consent and with written notice to Dasera.  Subject to the foregoing, these General Terms will bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
