Indemnification

  1. In General. Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless, at its expense, the other party and their respective officers, directors, regents, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and employees (individually an “Indemnitee”, collectively, the "Indemnitees"), against all loss, damage, or expense of any kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, arising from any third party claims whether in law or in equity ("Claims") based on or related to:
    1. Any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Indemnifying Party contained in these Terms;
    2. Any negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or any of its employees, representatives or agents;
    3. Any infringement or misappropriation of a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of a third party (“Infringement Claim”).
  2. Special Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms, IntelliGuard’s indemnification obligations will not apply, and Customer’s indemnification obligations will apply, to the extent that any claim is based on:
    1. the medication and/or dosage dispensed or involved in a Claim;
    2. incorrect or improper data or information supplied by Indemnitee during use of a Product;
    3. use of a Product contrary to the specifications, Product training or use instructions provided by IntelliGuard;
    4. modification, alteration or combination of a Product by a party other than IntelliGuard, after its delivery by IntelliGuard;
    5. negligence, willful misconduct or misuse of Product by Customer;
    6. combination of the Products with Customer or a third party’s products;

    IntelliGuard’s indemnification obligations will not apply, provided, however, that Customer’s indemnification obligations will apply, to any claim for bodily injury, death or property damage that occurs as a result of using the Products for an application or purpose where the failure of the Product could result in bodily injury, death or property damage.

  3. Indemnification Procedures. As a condition of the obligations under this Section 8, the Indemnitee must promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Claim for which it seeks indemnity and provide the Indemnifying Party all reasonable requested cooperation and information to assist the Indemnifying Party’s defense of the Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the litigation and settlement of a Claim, except that the Indemnifying Party must obtain the written consent before entering into any compromise or settlement of such Claim. Indemnitee, at its own expense, may retain its own counsel to monitor such defense or settlement. Subject to the limitations of this Section 8, the Indemnifying Party will pay any damages and costs finally awarded
  4. Infringement Claim Remedy. If the use of the Products is enjoined due to an Infringement Claim, IntelliGuard may, at its own expense, either:

    2. modify the Products so that they are no longer infringing;

The prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable attorneys' fees. IntelliGuard may pursue injunctive relief against Customer in any forum to protect its intellectual property rights. No notice is required if IntelliGuard reasonably determines that doing so will prevent it from reasonably protecting its intellectual property.
