8. Indemnification

8.1. Each party (the “Indemnitor”) agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify the other party (“Indemnitee”), its officers, directors, employees, agents, and subcontractors from and against any and all expenses, loss or liability incurred by the Indemnitee, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or subcontractors as a result of any third party claims arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Indemnitor. Ventures agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Client, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and subcontractors from and against any and all expenses, loss or liability incurred by them arising as a result of: (a) any fines, penalties and levies assessed against Client by a regulatory authority or governmental entity having authority over Client as a result of Ventures’ failure to comply with applicable law in the performance of services under the Agreement; and (b) any claim that Ventures Intellectual Property infringes upon or violates any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. The foregoing indemnification obligations of the Indemnitor are conditional upon the Indemnitee providing the Indemnitor with prompt written notice of any such claim or action. Any failure to provide such notice shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under these terms and conditions to the extent the Indemnitor can demonstrate actual, material prejudice to its ability to mount a defense as a result of such failure. The Indemnitor shall have sole control over the defence of any such claim or action and the Indemnitee shall cooperate in such defence. The Indemnitor shall obtain the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, for any settlement or compromise of any claim that does not include the unconditional release of the Indemnitee from the indemnified liability hereunder or requires any specific performance, non-pecuniary remedy or for the payment of any amount by the Indemnitee.

8.2. If Ventures believes that the Traction Intellectual Property may be subject to any claim of infringement, and if Client’s use of the Traction Intellectual Property is held to infringe and its use is enjoined, then Ventures will, at Ventures’ own expense and option: (i) procure for Client the right to continue using the Traction Intellectual Property; or (ii) replace same with non-infringing Intellectual Property; or (iii) modify the Traction Intellectual Property so that it becomes non-infringing. If none of the foregoing is available on terms that are commercially reasonable for Ventures, then Ventures may terminate Client’s rights to access and use the Traction Intellectual Property that requires the infringing Intellectual Property. Ventures has no obligation with respect to any actual or claimed infringement if the infringement is solely caused by Client data, use of the Services other than as specified in any documentation provided by Ventures, or combination of the Services with any products, software, services, data or other materials not provided by, required by, or approved by Ventures, unless such use is necessary in order to use the Services.

9. Limitation of Liability

EXCEPT AS SET FORTH UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, DAMAGES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9.2 ARE THE PARTIES’ SOLE EXCLUSIVE MONETARY REMEDY AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE ALTERNATIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT ANY OTHER REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE PARTIES MAY NOT LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHERE PREVENTED FROM DOING SO BY APPLICABLE LAW.
