• Intellectual Property Rights and Ownership 5.1. You acknowledge that all Intellectual Property Rights (including any new Intellectual Property Rights) arising out of or in connection with the Access Products and associated Documentation, belong at all times to Us or Our licensors. 5.2. Nothing in this Agreement shall transfer any Intellectual Property Rights in or arising from Access Products or Documentation to You but that these shall remain vested in Us or Our licensors. No rights to use any such Intellectual Property are granted, except as expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions or the relevant Statement of Work. If, notwithstanding this, any Intellectual Property Rights in or arising from the Access Product and/or Documentation are acquired by You (including any new Intellectual Property Rights), You hereby assign (and to the extent that any such Intellectual Property Rights are not capable of such assignment, agree to hold on trust) and agree to do all such things and sign all such documents as We may reasonably require in respect of the assignment of all such Intellectual Property Rights to Us or Our licensors as may be appropriate. 5.3. Subject to clauses 5.6 and 5.7, We will indemnify You against all direct costs, claims, demands, expenses (including reasonable legal costs) and liabilities of whatever nature incurred by or awarded against You arising out of or in connection with any claim that Your use of the Access Product(s) any Documentation, information, data, computer facilities or material that We supply, infringes a third party’s Intellectual Property (Infringement Claim). 5.4. We warrant that We are not aware that the Access Product(s) any Documentation, information, data, computer facilities or material that We supply, or Your use of the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will infringe any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights but We have not carried out any investigation into the same. We shall indemnify You against all direct costs, claims, demands, expenses (including reasonable legal costs) and liabilities of whatever nature incurred by or awarded against You arising out of or in connection with any breach of the warranty contained in this clause. 5.5. If an Infringement Claim is alleged or threatened against either You or Us, or if We believe that the Access Product or the Documentation or any part thereof may infringe any third party’s copyright or registered patent (effective at the date of this Agreement), We may, at Our sole option, (i) procure such licence, authorisation or consent as is necessary to enable Your continued use of the Access Product and/or the Documentation; (ii) modify or replace the same as necessary to avoid infringement without any material adverse effect to the functionality of the Access Product; or (iii) terminate this Agreement and/or the affected Statement of Work and refund an amount equal to the unused portion of any Annual Licence Fees pre-paid in respect of such Software (as the case may be) to You. 5.6. You shall permit Us to have access upon reasonable Notice during the Licence Term to inspect during Business Hours the premises and the Customer System at or on which the Software is being kept or used, and any records kept pursuant to the Licence, for the purposes of ensuring that You are complying with the terms of this Agreement. In carrying out such an inspection We will comply with any reasonable restrictions You require, and We will only request such an inspection where We believe We have reasonable cause to do so. In the event that You have unauthorised copies of the Software, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that We may have, You shall pay an additional fee to Us in respect of any such unauthorised copies calculated by reference to the standard list price prevailing at the date of invoice in respect of such Software. 5.7. Without prejudice to clause 5.8, We shall only be liable under the terms of this Agreement for an Infringement Claim or alleged Infringement Claim if (i) You promptly notify Us of any infringement or alleged infringement of which You are aware, or ought reasonably to have been made aware of; (ii) You make no admission as to liability or agree any settlement of such claim without Our prior written consent; (iii) You allow Us (or a relevant third party supplier), at Our expense, to conduct and/or settle all negotiations and litigation arising from any claim or action relating to the alleged infringement; and (iv) You, at Our expense, give Us (or a relevant third party supplier) such reasonable assistance as may berequested in such settlement or negotiation. 5.8. We shall have no liability for any Infringement Claim or alleged Infringement Claim to the extent such claim arises from (i) possession, use, development, modification, or operation of the Access Product or part thereof by You other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the relevant Statement of Work or the Documentation; (ii) failure by You to take any reasonable corrective action directed by Us (including using an alternative, non-infringing version of the Access Products); or (iii) is based upon any item provided by You and incorporated into the Access Product(s) or used in combination with the Access Product(s) at Your request.
