SeekOut will defend Customer against any third-party claim brought against Customer in the United States alleging that Customer’s use of the SeekOut Services in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim“). SeekOut will indemnify and hold Customer harmless from and against any damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses“) finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by SeekOut resulting from such Claim. SeekOut will have no obligation under this Section 9.1 to the extent a Claim arises from: (i) Customer’s use of the SeekOut Services in a manner that does not conform to this Agreement or the Documentation; (ii) Customer’s combination of the SeekOut Services with any product, service, or technology not approved by SeekOut; or (iii) Customer’s failure to follow SeekOut’s reasonable instructions to avoid or reduce potential infringement. If SeekOut reasonably believes that a Claim may be brought, SeekOut may, at its sole option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the SeekOut Services; (b) replace or modify the SeekOut Services so they become non-infringing without materially reducing their functionality; or (c) if neither (a) nor (b) is commercially practicable, terminate Customer’s access to the infringing SeekOut Services and refund any prepaid, unused fees for the remainder of the then-current Term.
