NTT DATA will defend User with respect to any claim asserted against User that a Product or a service, when used in accordance with the Agreement, infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of a third party in the Territory, and will indemnify User for actual damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) finally awarded against User with respect to such claim, or for the amount agreed to settle such claim, provided that: (a) User notifies NTT DATA without undue delay of the claim received; (b) NTT DATA has sole control of the defense and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise (provided that this does not require an admission of fault or liability by User); and (c) User reasonably assists NTT DATA in the defense. NTT DATA shall have no obligation to User if the infringement claim is based on or related to: (a) the User’s continued use of a version of the Product that NTT DATA no longer commercially distributes, if NTT DATA has available a new version of a Product that would avoid or reduce the infringement claim; (b) the use or combination of any Product or services with other programs, components products or services not provided or authorized by NTT DATA, if such use or combination gives rise to the infringement claim; (c) the improper use, misuse or combination of any Product or services with other programs, components products or services not provided or authorized by NTT DATA, if such use or combination gives rise to the infringement claim; (c) misuse, misappropriation or improper disclosure of User Data by User; or (d) use of a Product or service in breach of the Agreement, or in a manner that does not comply with the terms of the Agreement or that is not in accordance with the applicable Technical Documentation. 

11.5 Third Party Claims Actions. Upon notice of a claim of infringement or, if in NTT DATA’s opinion, such a claim is likely to be made, NTT DATA shall have the right, at its option and expense, to (a) procure that User is entitled to continue to use the affected Product or service; or (b) replace or modify such Product or service so as to provide substantially equal or superior functionality and performance to the affected Product. If, in NTT DATA’s opinion, none of the foregoing options is commercially reasonable under the circumstances, NTT DATA may terminate the Agreement and/or the Offering upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to User and will refund on a prorated basis the prepaid and unused Fees for the remainder of the current Subscription term. The pro-rated refund will be calculated from the date NTT DATA receives notice of the infringement claim through the remainder of the term of the license. Clauses 11.3 and 11.4 set forth NTT DATA’s entire obligation and liability with respect to infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and proprietary rights of third parties. 

11.6 User’s Liability for Third Party Claims. You will defend and indemnify for damages arising out of any claim against NTT DATA (including, without limitation, its group companies and their employees, directors, agents and representatives) arising out of or relating to: (a) your collection and use of the User Data in connection with the Product, or (b) your failure to comply with your obligations in connection with the Third Party Content or restrictions in the Product. The indemnity set forth in this clause includes any damages (including costs associated with legal defense) finally awarded against NTT DATA with respect to any such claim, or for the amount agreed to settle such claims, provided that (a) NTT DATA notifies the User without undue delay of the claim; (b) User has sole control of the defense and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise (provided that this does not require an admission of fault or liability by NTT DATA); and (c) NTT DATA reasonably assists User in the defense. This indemnification shall not apply to the extent that such claim arises solely out of the Product itself or is caused by NTT DATA’s breach of this Agreement. 

11.7 Liability for Force Majeure: None of the Parties shall be liable for delays in performance or non-performance due to force majeure or acts of God, understood as those established by the applicable Spanish legislation. 

12. Notifications

Any notice, request, demand, requirement, instruction, instruction, notification, or other communication given or sent in the context of the Contract shall be in writing and shall be sent by post (with acknowledgement of receipt), by e-mail or delivered to the relevant Party at the address stated in the Quotation. Notices shall be deemed to have been effectively received, if delivered personally, at the time of such delivery; if delivered by mail, at the time of proof of such delivery to the addressee; and, if sent by e-mail, when an explicit acknowledgement of receipt thereof is obtained or when it is technically feasible not to repudiate it.  

Any change of address for the purpose of notifications shall be notified to the other Party with reasonable notice and in accordance with the provisions of this clause. 

13. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

13.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Spanish law.  

13.2 Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Contract, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be resolved by the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Madrid (Spain). 

14. Regulatory Compliance Program

The Parties undertake to comply with all the regulations in force that may be applicable (including international regulations) to the Contract and during the term of the same, especially the Spanish Anti-Corruption, Criminal Code, Prevention of Money Laundering and Antitrust regulations.  

Each Party declares that it has implemented a Regulatory Compliance Program or Compliance Program, which entails the development of the professional activity under ethical and integrity parameters, embodied in its own Code of Ethics, and whose essential purpose is the identification of regulatory compliance risks in the organization, as well as their prevention and control.  

Each Party undertakes to fully comply with the provisions of its Compliance Program, which includes, among other aspects, observing the values, principles and guidelines contained in its Code of Conduct, as well as the rest of its own internal policies and procedures. Both Parties agree to prohibit any act or behavior that may imply, directly or indirectly, corruption or bribery of any kind, both in the public and private sectors.   

Additionally, within the framework of the present contractual relationship, the Parties agree to avoid any conflicts of interest, whether of a personal or professional nature.  

Any breach of this Clause, if it is duly accredited, shall entitle the non-breaching Party to automatically terminate the Contract, as well as to claim whatever is legally appropriate in the event of being affected by such breach. 

15. Miscellaneous

15.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement includes all obligations, liabilities, representations and warranties arising from the agreement between the Parties with respect to the use of the Product and the Additional Services, and supersedes any prior oral or written discussions or agreements between the Parties, expressly excluding any terms of any order of User or any general terms of User, which shall not be binding on the Parties and shall not be construed to modify this Agreement. Any modification of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both Parties.   

15.2 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is declared null and void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, but shall not render this Agreement null and void. In this case the parties shall make every effort to find an equivalent solution that is valid and duly reflects their intentions.  

15.3 Waiver. The failure of either party to exercise any right to which it may be entitled under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver thereof.  

15.4 Assignment of the contractual position. NTT DATA may assign its contractual position under this Agreement upon one (1) month’s prior written notice to User. User may not assign the Agreement without NTT DATA’s prior written consent, except to a corporate successor by merger, purchase of assets and assumption of liabilities, acquisition, reorganization, or otherwise, provided that User gives prior notice to NTT DATA and such corporate successor agrees to be bound by the Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, User may only assign this Agreement if the assignee is not a competitor of NTT DATA, User ceases to use the Product, and the use does not exceed the number of Subscriptions purchased by User. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and shall be binding upon their respective successors, executors, heirs and permitted assigns.
