If Customer fails to correct the violation within 24 hours of WorkFusion’s request, then WorkFusion may Suspend all or part of Customer’s use of the Services until the violation is corrected.
(B) Other Suspension. Without limiting Section 8.6.A, WorkFusion may immediately suspend all or part of Customer’s use of the Cloud Services if: (a) WorkFusion believes Customer’s use of the Cloud Services could adversely impact the Cloud Services, including other customers’ use of the Cloud Services, or the WorkFusion Cloud Platform or its network or servers used to provide the Cloud Services; (b) there is suspected unauthorized third-party access to the Cloud Services; (c) WorkFusion believes it is required to suspend immediately to comply with applicable law; (d) Customer is in breach of Section 2.3 (Use Restrictions); (e) the Customer’s use of the Cloud Services may subject WorkFusion, our Affiliates, or any third party to liability; or (f) the Customer has ceased to operate in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of your assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding. WorkFusion will lift any such suspension when the circumstances giving rise to the suspension have been resolved. At Customer’s request, unless prohibited by applicable law, WorkFusion will notify Customer of the basis for the suspension as soon as is reasonably possible. If the circumstances giving rise to the suspension are not resolved within five days from the suspension, or, if in WorkFusion reasonably believes that the circumstances are not capable of resolution, WorkFusion may terminate the Customer’s account and this Agreement immediately.

11. INDEMNIFICATION.
11.1. WorkFusion Indemnification. WorkFusion shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all Losses incurred by Customer resulting from any Claim by a third party that Customer’s use of the Indemnified Technology in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (“Infringement Claim”). The foregoing obligation does not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (a) Customer Data, Customer Materials or third-party materials; (b) access to or use of the WorkFusion Technology in combination with any hardware, system, software, network, or other materials or service not provided by WorkFusion or specified for Customer’s use in the Documentation, unless otherwise expressly permitted by WorkFusion in writing; (c) modification of the Indemnified Technology other than: (i) by or on behalf of WorkFusion; or (ii) with WorkFusion’s written approval in accordance with WorkFusion’s written specification; (d) failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements, or enhancements made available to Customer by or on behalf of WorkFusion; or (e) act or omission by Customer, including ones that have given rise to a matter described in Section 11.3(a), Section 11.3(b), whether or not the same results in any action against or Losses by any WorkFusion Indemnitee.
11.2. WorkFusion’s response. In the defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim, WorkFusion may, at its sole option and expense: procure for Customer a license to continue using the Indemnified Technology under the terms of this Agreement; (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing Indemnified Technology to avoid the infringement; or (c) terminate Customer’s right to use and access to the Indemnified Technology (or its infringing part) and refund any prepaid, unused fees as of the date of termination.

11.3. Customer’s Duty to Indemnify. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WorkFusion and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “WorkFusion Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such WorkFusion Indemnitee resulting from any Claim by a third party that arise out of or result from, or are alleged to arise out of or result from: (a) Customer Data, including any Claim involving alleged infringement or misappropriation of third-party rights by Customer Data; or (b) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Customer, including WorkFusion’s compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Customer to the extent prepared without any contribution by WorkFusion.
11.4. Indemnification Procedure. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any Claim for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 11. The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel of its choice/reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Claim on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Claim including settling such Claim after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 11.4 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under Section 11, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

13.12. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a proper authority to be unenforceable or invalid such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render the Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole and in such event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.
