Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall have no liability for any Infringement Claim of any kind to the extent that it relates to Services or portions or components thereof (i) not supplied by Company, (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance to Client specifications, (iii) modified by a party other than Company after delivery to Client, (iv) used in combination with any other product, process, materials, service, or device, if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of the Services without the other product, process, materials, service, or device, or (v) where Client continues use of the infringing Services following Company’s supplying a modified, amended or replacement version of the Services, or (vi) use of the Services other than in accordance with this Agreement. Client will reimburse Company for any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Company if the cause of the infringement is attributable to Client’s actions as stated in this paragraph.

With respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1 (Indemnification) above, Client must (a) promptly notify Company of the claim (provided that any failure to provide prompt written notice will only relieve the Company of its obligations to the extent its ability to defend the claim is materially prejudiced by the failure), (b) give Company sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that Company shall not consent to entry of any judgment or admission of any liability of Client without the prior written approval of Client), and (c) provide reasonable assistance, cooperation, and required information with respect to the defense and settlement of the claim, at Company’s expense. At its own expense, Client may retain separate counsel to advise it regarding the defense or settlement of the claim.
No breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be waived except with the express written consent of the party not in breach.
Subject to any express restrictions elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company may assign any of its obligations under this Agreement, providing the Company promptly provides written notice to the Client following an assignment, specifying the assigned obligations and identity of parties receiving assignment.
