This Section 10.3, together with the indemnity provided under Section 10.1, states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Norbert’s sole and exclusive liability, regarding any Claim.
- Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Norbert, its licensors, its hosting providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, contractors, and agents from any and all Losses incurred by such parties in connection with any Claim: (a) alleging that the Customer Data infringes or misappropriates any United States patents, copyrights, or trade secrets, or (b) arising from or in connection with Customer’s or any of its Authorized Users’ breach or violation of this Agreement, any Order Form, or Applicable Law; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation will be subject to Norbert: (i) promptly notifying Customer of the Claim (provided that failure to provide prompt written notice to Customer of the Claim will not alleviate Customer of its obligations under this Section 10.4 to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claim); (ii) providing Customer, at its expense, with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Claim; and (iii) providing Customer with sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise of the Claim, provided that Customer may not make any settlement or admission of liability on Norbert’s behalf without Norbert’s prior written approval.
