way connected with providing the services, or the Buyer's continued use of the
Deliverable(s) hereunder.

or action against Buyer for infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark,

compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, SELLER

provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect
Buyer's authorized use of the Deliverables; or (c) replace the Deliverables

Deliverables at no additional charge to Buyer; or (d) if none of the foregoing
alternatives is reasonably available to SELLER, terminate this Agreement and
refund all amounts paid to SELLER by Buyer, subsequent to which

in equity.

applicable law, Seller hereby agrees that this Agreement effectively transfers, grants,
