CSU will notify Contractor of such claim in writing and tender its defense within a reasonable time; and ii. Contractor will control the defense of any action on such claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, except when substantial principles of government or public law are involved, when litigation might create precedent affecting future CSU operations or liability, or when involvement of the CSU is otherwise mandated by law. In such case no settlement shall be entered into on behalf of CSU without CSU’s written approval. b. Contractor may be required to furnish CSU a bond against any and all loss, damage, costs, expenses, claims and liability for patent, copyright and trade secret infringement. c.

Contractor agrees to take back such Deliverables or Software and refund any sums CSU paid Contractor less any reasonable amount for use or damages. d. Contractor certifies it has appropriate systems and controls in place to ensure State funds will not be used in the performance of this Contract for the acquisition, operation or maintenance of computer Software in violation of copyright laws.
