Notwithstanding the foregoing, Siebel shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (a) the use of a superseded or altered release of Licensed Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Licensed Software, which Siebel provided to Distributor, (b) the modification of the Licensed Software, or (c) the use of the Licensed Software other than in accordance with the Documentation. If, due to an IP Claim, (i) the Licensed Software is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or are believed by Siebel to infringe, or (ii) Customer or Distributor receives a valid court order enjoining Customer or Distributor from using the Licensed Software, Siebel shall in its reasonable judgment, and at its expense, (a) replace or modify the Licensed Software to be non-infringing; (b) obtain for Distributor and/or its Customers a license to continue using the Licensed Software, or (c) if Siebel cannot reasonably obtain the remedies in (a) or (b), terminate the license for the infringing Licensed Software and refund the license fees paid to Siebel for such Licensed Software upon its return by Distributor. This Section 9 states Siebel's entire liability and Distributor's exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement.
