Provided you are a current subscriber to the Service, if a third party makes a claim against you that any covered programs furnished by Oracle (“material” or “materials”), and used by you for your business operations infringes its intellectual property rights, Oracle, at its sole cost and expense, will defend you against the claim and indemnify you from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by Oracle, if you do the following:
If Oracle believes or it is determined that any of the material may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, Oracle may choose to either modify the material to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, then Oracle may, upon 30 days notice to you terminate your right to receive indemnification for your further use of the materials specified; and refund any unused, prepaid service fees , you have paid for the covered programs. Notwithstanding the above, Oracle will not defend or indemnify you in connection with claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of, or caused by, or related to: (a) your distribution of the material; (b) your alteration of the material; (c) your use of a version of the material which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using the current version of the material; (d) your use of the material outside the scope of use identified in the user documentation (e) your use of the material when you were not a subscriber to the service; (f) any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by Oracle (g) the combination of any material with any products or service not provided by Oracle; (h) your claim, lawsuit, or action against a third party (i) any Open Source Licenses and software.
