The Club shall obtain no rights in or to the Licensed Software by operation of these Terms and Conditions or otherwise, other than the rights and licenses set forth in Section 2.
12. Indemnification
(a) Indemnification by Capstone. Capstone shall at its expense defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Club from and against any and all claims, costs, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees), damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of, relating to, or to the extent alleging: (a) infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights by any Licensed Software; or (b) breach by Capstone of any of its representations, warranties or obligations under these Terms and Conditions. The Club shall: (i) provide written notice of the claim to Capstone promptly after becoming aware of the same, (ii) relinquish control of the defense or settlement of any action to Capstone (provided, however, and only so long as, Capstone is diligently pursuing the defense of such action), and (iii) at Capstone’s request, provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Capstone, at Capstone’s expense.
(b) Additional Obligations. In addition to the obligations under Section 12(a), if any Licensed Software becomes the subject of an action described above, or the Club’s use thereof is enjoined or prohibited in connection with any such action, Capstone shall, at its expense: (a) obtain a license or other necessary rights permitting the continued exercise of the rights conferred by or pursuant to these Terms and Conditions with respect to such Licensed Software; or (b) if such license or rights are unavailable, replace or modify the affected Licensed Software so that it is not infringing and still provides substantially the same functionality. In the event that Capstone cannot accomplish (a) or (b) above within ninety (90) days after Capstone becomes aware of the applicable action, the issuance of such injunction or prohibition, or receipt of the Club’s notice that an action is likely to occur, then provided the Club cannot use substantially all of the Licensed Software because of such events, the Club or Capstone shall be entitled to terminate these Terms and Conditions and neither party shall have any further liability to the other under these Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Capstone’s obligations pursuant to this Section shall not apply to the extent that the claim of infringement is caused by the Club’s modification of the Licensed Software or the use or combination of the Licensed Software with other products, equipment, software or data that was not intended to be used in combination with the Licensed Software, if such claim of infringement would have been avoided but for such modification or combination.
(c) Indemnification by the Club. The Club shall at its expense defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Capstone from and against any and all claims, costs, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees), damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of, relating to, or to the extent alleging: (a) infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights by any Club Modification; or (b) breach by the Club of any of its representations, warranties or obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Capstone shall: (i) provide written notice of the claim to the Club promptly after becoming aware of the same, (ii) relinquish control of the defense or settlement of any action to the Club (provided, and only so long as, the Club is diligently pursuing the defense of such action), and (iii) at the Club’s request provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to the Club, at the Club’s expense, provided that Capstone’s failure to comply with any of the foregoing shall not modify any of the Club’s obligations under this Section 12 except to the extent that the Club’s ability to fulfill any of such obligations is materially prejudiced by such failure.
(d) Settlement. Subject to Sections 12(a) and 12(c), the indemnifying party shall have control of the defense and negotiations for settlement of actions under this Section; provided, however, that the indemnifying party must consult with the indemnified party prior to settling any such action, and the indemnifying party cannot bind the indemnified party or materially prejudice the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified party shall also have the right to participate in the investigation, defense and settlement negotiations of any such action with separate counsel chosen and paid for by the indemnified party. Moreover, at any time, the indemnifying party may at its own cost and expense settle any such actions against it so long as such settlement is expressly without prejudice to the interest or position of the indemnified party.
13. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED ON ANY BREACH OF THESE TERMS and CONDITIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO THE OBLIGATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY UNDER SECTION 10 OR ANY OBLIGATION TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, OR HOLD HARMLESS UNDER THIS SECTION 12.
14. Remedies. The parties hereto each recognize and agree that the Licensed IP is valuable, novel, and unique, and that there is no adequate remedy at law for a breach of these Terms and Conditions, that such a breach by any party hereto would irreparably harm the remaining parties and that any party bringing an action to enforce these Terms and Conditions is entitled to equitable relief (including, without limitation, an injunction) with respect to any such breach or potential breach, in addition to any other remedies available.
15. Miscellaneous
(a) Binding Nature. The terms hereof shall bind the parties, their heirs, assigns, transferees, devisees, and successors.
(b) Non-Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any privilege, any power or any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of any other right hereunder.
(c) Severability. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms and Conditions shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. These Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to have been made under, and shall be construed pursuant to, the laws of the State of Florida and the United States without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof. The parties hereto each consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Florida and hereby waive any objection thereto. Venue for the commencement of any action brought to enforce the terms hereof shall exclusively lie in the state and federal courts located in Duval County, Florida.
