a. By ONOMATIC.

ONOMATIC’s obligation of indemnification will not apply to the extent that the claim is based on (i) your use of the ONOMATIC Software after ONOMATIC notifies you to discontinue use due to such a claim; (ii) your combining the ONOMATIC Software with non-ONOMATIC product, data, or business process, including third party add-ons or programs; (iii) damages attributable to the value of the use of a non-ONOMATIC product, data, or business process; (iv) your altering or modifying the ONOMATIC Software, including any modifications by third parties; or (v) your use of the ONOMATIC Software in violation of this Agreement.

If, as a result of an infringement or misappropriation claim, your use of the Software is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, ONOMATIC will, at its option, either procure the right to continue its use, replace it with a functional equivalent, modify it to make it non-infringing, or refund the amount paid and terminate the license granted in this Agreement. This Section 7.a. constitutes your exclusive remedy for third party infringement and trade-secret misappropriation claims.

b. By You. You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ONOMATIC from and against any and all claims, proceedings, damages, liability, and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by ONOMATIC in connection with any claim arising out of (i) any breach or alleged breach of any of your obligations set forth in this User Agreement, and (ii) your use of the Software, or the use by any party related to you, or any party acting upon your authorization in a manner that is not expressly authorized by this User Agreement, regardless of the type or nature of the claim. You shall cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim. ONOMATIC reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and you shall not in any event settle any matter without the written consent of ONOMATIC.
