If a third party makes a claim against either you or FocalPointK12 (“Recipient” which may refer to you or FocalPointK12 depending upon which party  received  the  Material),  that  any  information,  design,  specification,  instruction,  software,  service,  data,  or  material (“Material”) furnished by either you or FocalPointK12 (“Provider” which may refer to you or FocalPointK12 depending on which party provided the Material), and used by the Recipient infringes its intellectual property rights, the Provider, at its 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.

 

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 the 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 FocalPointK12’s ability to meet its obligations under the relevant order, then FocalPointK12 may, at its option and upon 30 days prior written notice, terminate the order.  The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider’s user documentation or services policies or if the Recipient uses a version of the Materials which has been superseded if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was provided to the Recipient.  The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon (i) any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by the Provider, or (ii) any Material from a third party portal or other external sources that is accessible to you within or from the service (e.g., a third party Web page accessed via a hyperlink).  FocalPointK12 will not indemnify you to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any Material with any products or services not provided by FocalPointK12.  FocalPointK12 will not indemnify you for infringement caused by your actions against any third party if the services as delivered to you and used in accordance with the terms of the agreement would not otherwise infringe any third party intellectual property rights.  FocalPointK12 will not indemnify you for any infringement claim that is based on: (1) a patent that you were made aware of prior to the effective date of the agreement (pursuant to a claim, demand, or notice); or (2) your actions prior to the effective date of the agreement.   This section provides the parties’ exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.

You agree that if you are in default under the agreement, you may not use the services ordered.  

 

In addition, FocalPointK12 may immediately suspend your password, account, and access to or use of the services (i) if you fail to pay FocalPointK12 as required under the agreement and do not cure within the first ten days of the 30 day cure period, or (ii) if you violate any provision of this software as a service agreement. FocalPointK12 may terminate the services hereunder if any of the foregoing is not cured within 30 days after FocalPointK12’s initial notice thereof.  Any suspension by FocalPointK12 of the services under this paragraph shall not excuse you from your obligation to make payment(s) under the agreement.

 

At your request, and for a period of up to 60 days after the termination of the applicable ordering document, FocalPointK12 may permit you to access the services solely to the extent necessary for you to retrieve a file of your data then in the services environment.    FocalPointK12 will provide, annually at your request and upon the termination of the applicable ordering document, a backup of your data in a format selected by FocalPointK12.
