Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Navattic or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Navattic’s reasonable control, but Navattic shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. HOWEVER, NAVATTIC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES.

Indemnity

Navattic shall hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by the Service of any United States patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade secret, provided Navattic is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; Navattic will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the Service (i) not supplied by Navattic, (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance with Customer specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery by Navattic, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where Customer’s use of the Service is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement. If, due to a claim of infringement, the Services are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by Navattic to be infringing, Navattic may, at its option and expense (a) replace or modify the Service to be non-infringing provided that such modification or replacement contains substantially similar features and functionality, (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue using the Service, or (c) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and Customer’s rights hereunder and provide Customer a refund of any prepaid, unused fees for the Service.

Customer Reference

Injunctive Relief

Monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for breach of the Customer’s obligations set forth herein. In addition to all other remedies, if the Customer violates the terms of Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement, the Navattic will have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief, without the need to post bond or other security.

Miscellaneous

Neither party shall have any right or ability to assign, transfer, or sublicense any obligations or benefit under the Agreement (whether voluntarily or by operation of law) without the written consent of the other (and any such attempt shall be void), except that either party may assign and transfer the Agreement in its entirety and its rights and obligations hereunder, without the other party’s consent, to (a) an affiliate controlling, controlled by or under common control of such party, or (b) any third party who succeeds to substantially all its business or assets, whether by sale of assets, merger or otherwise.
