You are responsible for all activities that occur under Your and Your Users’ usernames, passwords or accounts or as a result of Your or Your Users’ access to the Subscription, and agree to notify RequirementONE immediately of any unauthorized use.

    • gives the Provider the information, authority and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.
  2. If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, the Provider may choose to either modify the Material to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees the Recipient may have paid to the other party for such Material. If such return materially affects RequirementONE’s ability to meet its obligations under the relevant Order, then RequirementONE may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, terminate the Order.
  3. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient
    1. alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider’s user or program documentation or Subscription Specifications,
    2. uses a version of the Material which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was made available to the Recipient, or
    3. continues to use the applicable Material after the end of the license to use that Material.
  4. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon any information, design, specification, instruction, software, service, data, hardware or material not furnished by the Provider. RequirementONE will not indemnify You for any portion of an infringement claim that is based upon the combination of any Material with any products or service not provided by RequirementONE. RequirementONE will not indemnify You to the extent that an infringement claim is based on Third-Party Content or any Material from a third-party portal or other external source that is accessible to You within or from the Subscription (e.g., a social media post from a third party blog or forum, a third-party Web page accessed via a hyperlink, etc.). RequirementONE will not indemnify You for infringement caused by Your actions against any third-party if the Subscription as delivered to You and used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would not otherwise infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. RequirementONE will not indemnify You for any intellectual property infringement claim(s) known to You at the time Subscription rights are obtained.
  5. The term “Material” defined above does not include Separately Licensed Third-Party Technology. Solely with respect to Separately Licensed Third Party Technology that is part of or is required to use the Cloud Subscription and that is used:
    1. in unmodified form;
    2. as part of or as required to use the Cloud Subscription; and
  6. in accordance with the usage grant for the relevant Cloud Subscription and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, RequirementONE will indemnify You for infringement claims for Separately Licensed Third-Party Technology to the same extent as RequirementONE is required to provide infringement indemnification for Materials under the terms of the Agreement.

  5. RequirementONE may update, change or modify the Subscription under this Agreement as a result of a change in, or unavailability of, such Third-Party Content, Third-Party Services or APIs.
