The foregoing indemnification shall not apply to (a) Advertising Services that have been altered, modified, or tampered with after delivery of the Advertising Services to the Customer to the extent such claim is caused by such alteration, modification or tampering; (b) Advertising Services which Spacejet has previously identified as illegal, and for which Spacejet has made commercially reasonable efforts to remove from the Advertising Services service; or (c) the Sponsored Links. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Spacejet harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claim, cause of action or other cost (including, without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses), arising out of or related to any third-party claim alleging infringement or misappropriation of any U.S. patent, copyright or trademark produced by (i) Customer’s altering of the Advertising Services; (ii) Customer’s use of the Advertising Services outside of the scope of this Agreement; (iii) any aspect of the Site (excluding Advertising Services); or (iv) any breach by Customer of Section 2.5 or Section 3.4.
- The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any such claim and promptly tender the control of the defense and settlement of any such claim to the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense; provided that failure to give prompt notice will not relieve the indemnifying party from its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent of liabilities that would have been avoided had prompt notice been given; and provided further, however, that the indemnifying party shall not settle any such claim in a manner that imposes any non-indemnified costs or otherwise adversely affects the indemnified party’s rights without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably refused or delayed). The indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in defending or settling such claim. The indemnified party may join in defense with counsel of its own choice at its own expense.
- The indemnity this Section 12 sets forth the indemnifying party’s sole and exclusive obligation, and the indemnified party’s sole and exclusive remedy, for any claims of intellectual property infringement.
- PUBLICITY. Neither party shall make any public statement nor issue any press release with regard to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.
- TAXES. Customer agrees to pay, and to indemnify and hold Spacejet harmless from, any sales, use, excise, import or export, value added or similar tax or duty not based on Spacejet’s income, as well as the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest, and all government permit or license fees and all customs and similar fees levied upon the delivery of the Spacejet Services, and any costs associated with the collection of any of the foregoing items. In the event that Spacejet is required to withhold taxes imposed upon Customer for any payment under this Agreement by virtue of the statutes, laws, codes or governmental regulations of a country in which the Spacejet Services are distributed, then such payments will be made by Spacejet on behalf of Customer by deducting them from the payment then due to Customer and remitting such taxes to the proper authorities on a timely basis, and the payments provided for under this Agreement will be adjusted appropriately. Customer agrees to cooperate with and provide all necessary documentation to Spacejet with respect to the withholding of such taxes. Spacejet shall be responsible for and pay taxes based on its income.
