13. Indemnification.
13.1 Provider Indemnification. Provider shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer permitted successors and permitted assigns (each, a “Customer Indemnitee“) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Customer Indemnitee arising out of or relating to any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Customer Indemnitee) alleging that Customer’s or an Authorized User’s use of the Services (excluding Customer Data and Third Party Materials) in compliance with this Agreement infringes a Canadian Intellectual Property Right. The foregoing obligation does not apply to any Action or Losses arising out of or relating to any:
(a) access to or use of the Services or Provider Materials in combination with any hardware, system, software, network or other materials or service not provided or authorized in writing by Provider;
(b) modification of the Services or Provider Materials other than: (i) by or on behalf of Provider; or (ii) with Provider’s written approval in accordance with Provider’s written specification; or
13.2 Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its Subcontractors and Affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (each, a “Provider Indemnitee“) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Provider Indemnitee in connection with any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Provider Indemnitee) that arise out of or relates to any:
(a) Customer Data, including any Processing of Customer Data by or on behalf of Provider in accordance with this Agreement;
(b) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content or technology) provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User, including Provider’s compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User to the extent prepared without any contribution by Provider;

The Indemnitor shall immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 13.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 13 except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

(c) by written notice to Customer, terminate this Agreement with respect to all or part of the Services and Provider Materials, and require Customer to immediately cease any use of the Services and Provider Materials or any specified part or feature thereof, provided that if such termination occurs prior to 3 months after the Effective Date, subject to Customer’s compliance with its post-termination obligations set forth in Section 11.4, Customer will be entitled to a refund of 50% of the prorated value of the remaining term of the agreement.
THIS SECTION 13 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND PROVIDER’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (INCLUDING THE SERVICES AND PROVIDER MATERIALS) INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT.
