Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose.

Indemnification.
Indemnification by Junior. Junior will defend Customer from and against any third-party claim to the extent alleging that a Service as operated by Junior, when used by Customer as permitted under the applicable Order, infringes or misappropriates a third-party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer against any damages and costs awarded against Customer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or agreed in a settlement by Junior resulting from the claim.

Procedures.The indemnifying party’s obligations in this Section 16 are subject to it receiving: (a) prompt written notice of the claim; (b) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, and settlement of the claim; and (c) all reasonably necessary cooperation of the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s expense for reasonable out-of-pocket costs. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim without the indemnified party’s prior consent if settlement would require the indemnified party to admit fault or take or refrain from taking any action (other than relating to use of the Services, when Junior is the indemnifying party). The indemnified party may participate in a claim with its own counsel at its own expense.
Mitigation. In response to an actual or potential infringement or misappropriation claim or otherwise relating to violation of intellectual property rights, if required by settlement or injunction or as Junior determines necessary to avoid material liability, Junior may at its option: (a) procure rights for Customer’s continued use of the applicable Service; (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing portion of the applicable Service to avoid infringement or misappropriation without reducing the Service’s overall functionality; or (c) terminate the affected Order and refund to Customer any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term.

Obligations.

At Discloser’s request, Recipient will delete all Confidential Information, except, in the case where Junior is the Recipient, Junior may retain the Customer’s Confidential Information to the extent required to continue to provide the Services. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Junior, the subcontractors referenced in Section 21.8), provided it remains responsible for their compliance with this Section 17, and they are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 17.

Nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from making disclosures, including of Customer Data and other Confidential Information, if required by applicable laws, subpoena, or court order, provided (if permitted by law) it notifies the other party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.

“Scheduled Maintenance” means Vendor’s scheduled routine maintenance for a Service including to fix non-critical errors and implement Service changes including to the Software.
“Uptime” means the time a Service is available during each calendar month.
Target Uptime. Vendor will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet or exceed an Uptime of 99.5%.

Service Credits. If a Service fails to meet Uptime in a particular calendar month, Vendor verifies such failure, and Customer makes a request for credit within 30 days after the end of such calendar month, Customer will be entitled to a credit based on the rolling average of the monthly fees due for the affected Service in the three previous calendar months, which will be calculated as follows (“Service Credit”):
Uptime | Service Credit (% of rolling 3-calendar-monthly fees) |
98.00% — 99.5% | 5% |
96.50% — 97.99% | 10% |
95.00% — 96.49% | 15% |
< 95.00% | 20% |
Vendor will apply each Service Credit to Customer’s next invoice if Customer’s account is fully paid up and there are no outstanding payment issues or disputes. Customer will not receive any refund for any unused Service Credits. Service Credits in any calendar month will not exceed 20% of the calendar monthly fees due.

Incident Priority Level | Incident Description | Contact Phone Number and Email Address | Target Response Time |
Priority Level 1 | The Service is unavailable such that Customer’s business is critically affected and a Workaround is unavailable.
