(b) procure for Client the right to continue using the Service; or

The indemnified party may participate in the defense of any claim with counsel of its own choosing at its expense. The indemnifying party may not settle a claim without the indemnified party’s prior written consent unless such settlement unconditionally releases the indemnified party from all liability and does not require the indemnified party to take or refrain from taking any action (except with respect to use or non-use of the Services or allegedly infringing materials).

12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION – Each party (as “Receiving Party”) agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical, and financial information that it obtains from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure.

The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore, that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
