Once the Licensed Product(s) is installed, Licensee shall have the opportunity to validate the Licensed Product(s) performance to determine whether it functions substantially in accordance with the applicable documentation. Licensee shall validate the Licensed Product(s) performance pursuant to the procedures, criteria and descriptions set forth in Licensor’s documentation and shall complete such tests as quickly as practical within no more than thirty (30) days after installation. Such validation shall be conducted on Licensee’s site and equipment in order to determine whether the Software can be effectively utilized in Licensee’s operating business environment.

Within ten (10) days of receipt of such “listing” Licensor shall correct the items on the “listing” and/or shall commence corrective action(s) reasonably acceptable to Licensee and shall proceed with due diligence to correct the defects.

If any additional add-on (the Custom Work) custom design and or development service is required, then such service must be conforming to the requirements of the Purchase Order only upon successful completion of the validation process. If the Licensor fails within thirty (30) calendar days to correct the defects contained in the “listing,” Licensee may; (a) issue a “partial acceptance” of the Custom Work Product(s), after Licensor and Licensee enter into good faith negotiations to determine the equitable adjustment in the price to account for such deficiency; (b) conditionally accept the Custom Work (s) for a specified period of time while reserving its right to revoke acceptance if timely correction(s)/ modification(s) are not forthcoming during the agreed to time period, or (c) pursue whatever other remedies are available under this Agreement.

10. INDEMNIFICATION. A. Licensor warrants that the Software does not infringe upon or violate any patent, copyright or trade secret. Licensor shall defend and hold harmless, at its expense any action or demand brought against Licensee to the extent that it is based on a claim that the Software infringes a patent, copyright or trade secret and will pay any and all costs and damages incurred by the Licensee, including reasonable attorney fees which are attributable to such claim, provided that Licensee notifies Licensor promptly in writing of the claim and allows Licensor to fully control the defense and any settlement of such claim. The settlement does not require Licensee to pay any monetary or other type of compensation of any kind to the Licensor, claimant, or any other party. Licensee hereby agrees to reasonably participate in the defense of such claim if reasonably necessary and requested to do so by the Licensor, subject to Licensor paying all of Licensee’s reasonable expenses associated with such participation. Licensee may appear through counsel at its own expense. Should the Software become, or if in Licensor’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of any claim of infringement, Licensor may procure for the Licensee the right to continue using the Software, replace or modify the Software to make it non-infringing at no additional cost to Licensee. If neither of the aforementioned alternatives can be reasonably and/or timely accomplished Licensor and Licensee shall enter into good faith negotiations to derive the equitable adjustment to be provided to Licensee. B. Licensor shall not be liable for any claim of infringement based upon (i) use of other than the latest unmodified release of the Software made available to Licensee by Licensor if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of such release of the Software, or (ii) use or combinations of the Software with non-Licensor, programs or data if such infringements would not have occurred without such use or combinations.
