Subject to 7.5, Partner (as "Indemnitor") shall defend and indemnify sāf.ai and its officers, employees, directors, agents and Affiliates (each as an "Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, judgments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which sāf.ai may suffer or incur arising out of or in connection with (a) any action by a third party against sāf.ai that is based on a claim that any Partner Application or Customers' use thereof, infringe or misappropriate such third party's Intellectual Property Rights; (b) any action by a third party (including a Customer) against sāf.ai relating to (i) a representation or warranty made by Partner to such third party (unless such representation or warranty was authorized in writing by sāf.ai) or (ii) any claim of unfair or deceptive business practices not arising directly from a statement expressly authorized by sāf.ai; (c) a breach of Partner's representations or warranties in this PPA or any applicable Addendum; or (d) any claim specified to subject to indemnity in an applicable Addendum.
- By sāf.ai.

The foregoing defense and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind arises from: (i) the combination, operation or use of the sāf.ai Offerings with equipment, devices, software (including a Partner Application) or data (including without limitation your Confidential Information) not supplied by sāf.ai, if a claim would not have occurred but for such combination, operation use; or (ii) use of the sāf.ai Products or Services other than in accordance with this PPA and the TOS.
- Injunction. If your use of the sāf.ai Offerings is, or in sāf.ai's opinion is likely to be, enjoined due to the type of claim specified in Section 7.2(ii), then sāf.ai may at its sole option and expense: (i) replace or modify the sāf.ai Offerings to make them non-infringing and of equivalent functionality; (ii) procure for you the right to continue using the sāf.ai Offerings under the terms of this PPA; or (iii) if sāf.ai is unable to accomplish either (i) or (ii) despite using its reasonable efforts, terminate your rights and sāf.ai's obligation under this PPA with respect to such sāf.ai Offerings and refund to you any Program Fees relating to a period after the termination to the extent your rights under the applicable Addendum would not be able to be effected but for the use of the sāf.ai Offerings.
- Sole Remedy. SUBJECT TO SECTION 9.1 BELOW, THE FOREGOING SECTIONS 7.2 and 7.3 STATE THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF SAF.AI AND ITS LICENSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE sāf.ai Offerings.
- Conditions of Indemnification. As a condition to an Indemnitor's obligations under this Section 7, an Indemnitee will: (i) promptly notify the Indemnitor of the claim for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification; (ii) grant the Indemnitor sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; (iii) provide the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim; (iv) preserve and will not waive legal, professional or any other privilege attaching to any of the records, documents, or other information in relation to such claim without prior notification of consent by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor will not settle any claim that involves a remedy other than payment without the Indemnitee's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An Indemnitee has the right to retain counsel, at the Indemnitee's expense, to participate in the defense or settlement of any claim. The Indemnitor will not be liable for any settlement or compromise that an Indemnitee enters into without the Indemnitor's prior written consent.

Unless sāf.ai Materials are explicitly marked 'for distribution to Customers' or as otherwise agreed by sāf.ai, sāf.ai Materials should be treated as Confidential Information not intended to be made public or shared with third parties.
- Exclusions. The obligations in Section 10.3 will not apply to the extent any information: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault of or breach of this PPA by the receiving party; (ii) is rightfully known by the receiving party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information; or (iv) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without restriction on use or disclosure.

Each receiving party will protect the disclosing party's Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure using efforts equivalent to the efforts that the receiving party ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information and in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party from disclosing the other party's Confidential Information or the terms and conditions of this PPA: (i) pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the party required to make such a disclosure gives reasonable prior notice to the other party to enable it to contest such order or requirement unless legally prohibited; (ii) on a confidential basis to its legal or professional financial advisors; (iii) as required under applicable securities regulations, provided that the party required to make such a disclosure gives reasonable prior notice to the other party unless legally prohibited; or (iv) on a confidential basis to present or future providers of venture capital and/or potential private investors in or acquirers of such party, provided that any such persons are bound by a written agreement that contains use and disclosure restrictions consistent with the terms set forth in this Section.
- Remedies.
