​

4.            IP Infringement Indemnification. If a claim is made or an action brought alleging that Vendor Materials or any deliverable infringes a U.S. patent, or any copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right, Vendor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Customer and its officers, directors, trustees, sponsors, employees, or agents (collectively, the "Indemnitees") against such claim and shall pay ongoing and resulting costs of the infringement claim, and attorneys’ and expert fees. Customer shall promptly notify Vendor in writing of the claim, within a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such claim, and Vendor shall have primary control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations. Customer shall reasonably cooperate in such defense so long as there is no expense to Customer. If Vendor Materials, in whole or in part, or the use or operation thereof, becomes, or in the reasonable opinion of Vendor is likely to become, the subject of such a claim, Vendor shall, at its sole expense, either procure the right for Customer to continue using Vendor Materials or, at the option of Vendor at Vendor’s sole expense, replace or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing (provided such replacement or modification maintains the same material functionality and does not adversely affect Customer’s use of Vendor Materials as contemplated hereunder). If neither of the alternatives is available on terms which are reasonable in Vendor’s judgment, Vendor shall cooperate with Customer to identify an alternate solution (which may or may not be a Vendor product), prepare for and transition all existing data to the new solution, and successfully transition Customer to such replacement product, at which time Customer will return the infringing Vendor Materials on written request by Vendor and Vendor will refund to Customer, at Customer’s option, all fees paid for such Vendor Materials and related Services less depreciation on a straight line basis over an assumed seven (7) year service life. If Vendor gives Customer notice that it chooses not to defend such claim or attempt to settle such claim on reasonable terms, Vendor shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject claim, and in such event Customer shall have the right to conduct such defense and to compromise and settle the claim without prior consent of Vendor, and in such case, the indemnity set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph shall apply.  Vendor will have no liability for any claim: (i) based upon the combination, operation or use of any Vendor Materials with hardware or software not supplied, approved, or otherwise contemplated in the documentation by Vendor if such claim would have been avoided by use of other hardware or software capable of achieving the same results; or (ii) based upon alteration or modification of the Vendor Materials, except to the extent such modification or alteration is contemplated by the documentation and this Agreement.

​

5.            HIPAA.  The parties will comply with the terms of the Business Associate Agreement between Vendor and Customer dated November 27, 2017 (“BAA”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein.

Vendor agrees that no PHI may be created, received, maintained, accessed or transmitted outside of the United States of America.
