8. INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 If a third party makes a claim against either You or RAPID (“Recipient” which may refer to You or us depending upon which party received the Material), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, service, data, hardware, or material (collectively, “Material”) furnished by either You or us (“Provider” which may refer to You or us depending on which party provided the Material) and used by the Recipient infringes the third party’s intellectual property rights, the Provider, at the Provider’s sole cost and expense, will defend the Recipient against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Provider, if the Recipient does the following:
- notifies the Provider promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after the Recipient receives notice of the claim (or sooner if required by applicable law);
- gives the Provider sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and
- gives the Provider the information, authority and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.
8.2 If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, the Provider 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, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees the Recipient may have paid to the other party for such Material. If such return materially affects our ability to meet obligations under the relevant order, then we may, upon 30 days prior written notice, terminate the order. If such Material is third party technology and the terms of the third party license do not allow us to terminate the license, then we may, upon 30 days prior written notice, end the Services associated with such Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees for such Services.
8.3 The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient (a) alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider’s user or program documentation or Service Specifications, or (b) uses a version of the Material which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was made available to the Recipient. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon any Material not furnished by the Provider. We will not indemnify You to the extent that an infringement claim is based on Third Party Content or any Material from a third party portal or other external source that is accessible or made available to You within or by the Services (e.g., a social media post from a third party blog or forum, a third party Web page accessed via a hyperlink, marketing data from third party data providers, etc.).
8.4 This Section 8 provides the parties’ exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.
9. TERM AND TERMINATION
9.1 This Agreement is valid for the order which this Agreement accompanies.
9.2 Services provided under this Agreement shall be provided for the Services Period defined in Your order. If stated in the Service Specifications, the Services Period of certain Cloud Services will automatically be extended for an additional Services Period of the same duration unless (i) You provide RAPID with written notice no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the applicable Services Period of Your intention not to renew such Cloud Services, or (ii) RAPID provides You with written notice no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the applicable Services Period of its intention not to renew such Cloud Services.

When reasonably practicable and lawfully permitted, we will provide You with advance notice of any such suspension. We will use reasonable efforts to re-establish the Services promptly after we determine that the issue causing the suspension has been resolved. During any suspension period, we will make Your Content (as it existed on the suspension date) available to You. Any suspension under this paragraph shall not excuse You from Your obligation to make payments under this Agreement.
9.4 If either of us breaches a material term of this Agreement or the order and fails to correct the breach within 30 days of written specification of the breach, then the breaching party is in default and the non-breaching party may terminate the order under which the breach occurred. If we terminate the order as specified in the preceding sentence, You must pay within 30 days all amounts that have accrued prior to such termination, as well as all sums remaining unpaid for the Services under such order plus related taxes and expenses. Except for nonpayment of fees, the non-breaching party may agree in its sole discretion to extend the 30 day period for so long as the breaching party continues reasonable efforts to cure the breach. You agree that if You are in default under this Agreement, You may not use those Services ordered.
9.5 For a period of no less than 60 days after the end of the Services Period of an order, we will make Your Content (as it existed at the end of the Services Period) available for retrieval by You. At the end of such 60 day period, and except as may be required by law, we will delete or otherwise render inaccessible any of Your Content that remains in the Services.

We may need to update, change or modify the Services under this Agreement as a result of a change in, or unavailability of, such Third Party Content, Third Party Services or APIs. If any third party ceases to make its Third Party Content or APIs available on reasonable terms for the Services, as determined by us in our sole discretion, we may cease providing access to the affected Third Party Content or Third Party Services without any liability to You.

5. PROBLEM MANAGEMENT
(a) The Licensee will post all requests for support through the Licensor’s web based support system. Both parties will use the Licensor’s web based support system as the primary means of communication for support requests. Email, Internet chat and telephone support will be provided to assist in the resolution of support requests logged on the web. In the event that the Licensor’s support web site is down, Licensee may use whatever reasonable means to report the issue to the Licensor, but this does not relieve Licensee from the obligation of logging the support request on the Licensor’s support web site once that web site is once again available. The Licensee will provide the following information as a minimum when making contact with the Licensor to report an incident: Company Name, Phone number, Contact Name, Operating System Platform, Page number of relevant manual where applicable, a detailed description of the effects of the problem or request for information, providing sample data, system and program messages, and screen, file or history print-outs where appropriate.
(b) The Licensor will make its reasonable endeavors to provide a response acknowledging the Licensee’s request for support within the specified service level agreement hours of receipt of a problem reported via the Licensor’s support web site.
(c) Where applicable, the Licensor will forward any problem that results from a defect in the Oracle Licensed Applications that has no available resolution or patch, and where circumvention is not possible to Oracle or other associated third party within 8 working hours from determining the lack of a resolution.
(d) It is the Licensee’s responsibility to make prudent provision for regular system housekeeping and file back-ups and to set up reasonable contingency procedures to mitigate the effects of any error or defect. However, Licensor can provide guidance via the Support Service agreement or via on site consultancy at the charge out rate as indicated in Exhibit A.
(e) The Licensor shall in no way whatsoever be held responsible for any loss, corruption or alteration of any data or information stored, processed or accessed by the Licensed Applications supplied.
(f) The Licensee shall maintain an electronic or written maintenance log and record each incident relating to the Licensed Applications, the date, time, explanation and where applicable the relevant page number of the User Reference Manual.
