Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Customer and the State of Florida, its corporate affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all fines, claims, assessments, suits, judgments, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, consequential, special, indirect, and punitive damages, including, court costs and attorney’s fees, as any such damages are determined by a court of law or are set forth and agreed upon in a settlement agreement), including without limitation, those based on contract or tort, arising out of or in connection with a claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party based upon bodily injury (including death) or damage to tangible personal property (not including lost or damaged data) arising from the acts or omissions of the Contractor or its subcontractors, or the officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns of any of them. In the event that the Customer’s negligent or intentional acts or omissions contributed to cause the injury or damage for which a claim of indemnity is being asserted against the Contractor hereunder, the damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) shall be allocated or reallocated, as the case may be, between the Contractor and the Customer in such proportion as jointly determined by the Contractor and the Customer.

The Contract does not constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity or consent by the Customer or the State of Florida or its subdivisions to suit by third parties. The foregoing indemnification obligations are conditioned upon the Customer promptly notifying the Contractor in writing of the claim, suit or proceeding for which the Contractor is obligated under this Section, cooperating with, assisting and providing information to, the Contractor as reasonably required, and granting the Contractor the right to defend or settle such claim, suit or proceeding.

- Customer giving Contractor authority to defend and settle the IPR Claim and any subsequent appeal; and

- Customer giving Contractor all information and assistance reasonably requested by Contractor in connection with the conduct of the defense and settlement of the IPR Claim and any subsequent appeal.

If an IPR Claim has been made, or in Contractor 's opinion is likely to be made, Contractor agrees, at Contractor 's option and expense, either to: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Product; or (b) replace or modify the Product so that there is no longer an infringement. In the event Contractor, using all available resources and best efforts, is unable to resolve the IPR claim and/or implement one of these two options, Contractor shall provide the Department and Customers with 10 business days advance written notice of Contractor’s need to terminate both the Contractor’s and Customer’s respective rights and obligations under the Customer’s agreement with regard to the product or service. Customer will promptly return the product to Contractor and or discontinue use of the service.

Contractor will refund to Customer a prorated portion of the amount paid for the products or services for the remainder of the unexpired usage term.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor has no obligation or liability for any IPR Claim arising from a Customer performing any of the following:

- Combining, operating, or using a product or service supplied under this Agreement with any product, device, or software not supplied by Contractor which results in an IPR Claim issued for the Contractor provided product or service;

This Section states the entire obligation of Contractor and its suppliers, and the exclusive remedy of Customer, with respect to any infringement or alleged infringement of any intellectual property rights or proprietary rights. The Customer and the Department, however, shall maintain all other rights and remedies available under this Contract and under state or federal law as may be applicable to an infringement or alleged infringement of any intellectual property or proprietary rights.

The Contract does not constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity or consent by the Customer or the State of Florida or its subdivisions to suit by third parties.

For purposes of determining the liability due hereunder, a group of violations relating to a common set of operative facts (e.g., same location, same time period, same off-shore entity) will be treated as a single Event (“Event”).
