  31. obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the affected portion of the Product materially as contemplated by this Agreement;
  32. modify or replace Product, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Product (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Product under this Agreement; or
  33. if Shakudo determines that neither of the foregoing two options are reasonably available, by written notice to Customer, Shakudo may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and require Customer to immediately cease all use of the applicable Product or part or feature thereof and Shakudo will refund any prepaid Fees for the applicable Product that were to be provided after the effective date of termination.

  36. Customer’s Indemnities. Customer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Shakudo, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Shakudo Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by Shakudo Indemnitees arising out of or relating to any Action by a third party (other than an affiliate of a Shakudo Indemnitee) that arise from or relate to: (a) Customer’s breach of Sections 2, 8 or 15 of this Agreement; (b) unauthorized use of the Shakudo Solution (or any part thereof) by Customer, or any Permitted User; or (c) Excluded Claims.

The Indemnitor will promptly take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and will employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 9.4 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations under this Section 9, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

Expiration or termination of this Agreement will not limit either party from pursuing any other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief. For clarity and avoidance of all doubt, no expiration or termination of this Agreement, Addendum or SOW, will affect the Customer's obligation to pay all Fees that may have become due before such expiration or termination, or (except as provided in Section 9.1 (b) (iii)) entitle the Customer to any refund. All Fees due and payable and any amounts due to Shakudo are immediately due and are to be immediately paid by the Customer to Shakudo.

Shakudo may, upon giving written notice to Customer, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of Shakudo’s affiliates or pursuant to a merger, amalgamation or other corporate reorganization or a sale of substantially all of its assets relating to that portion of its business that delivers the Services. In this case, such assignee will have and may exercise all the rights, and will assume all of the obligations, of Shakudo under this Agreement, except that the assignment will not release Shakudo from liability for Shakudo’s obligations under this Agreement. Except for such permitted assignment, neither party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the other party. Any purported assignment or delegation by the Customer in violation of this Section will be null and void. This Agreement enures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
  59. Export. Customer shall not directly or indirectly export, re-export or import any of the Shakudo Solution without first obtaining all required licenses, permits and permissions. Shakudo makes no representation or warranty that the Products or Services may be exported without Customer first obtaining appropriate licenses or permits under applicable law, or that any such license or permit has been, will be, or can be obtained.

In the event of such termination, Customer’s sole remedy and Shakudo’s sole liability will be to refund any prepaid fees/unearned amounts for the Shakudo Solution, for the period beginning upon receipt of such written notice to the end of the term set out in the applicable Addendum.

  10. Addendum Term. This PS Addendum will become effective upon the PSA Effective Date and will continue for the Term of the Terms and Conditions, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Terms and Conditions (“Addendum Term”).

  13. Suspension.

For any Deliverable, Service, or other performance obligation of Shakudo described as a milestone in an applicable SOW (each, a “Milestone”), Shakudo will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such Milestone on or before the deadline specified for such Milestone in the applicable SOW. Any delay in receiving Customer Resources or Customer’s performance of Customer Dependencies will cause Shakudo a delay in performing the Professional Services and will result in a delay in Shakudo ’s ability to meet the Milestones.
  17. Deliverables and Acceptance. Upon completion of each Deliverable under a SOW, Shakudo will, as applicable: (a) submit a complete copy to Customer; and (b) at Customer’s request, demonstrate its functionality to Customer. Customer is responsible for reviewing and testing all Deliverables in accordance with such SOW pursuant to any acceptance criteria or test plans mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties for such Deliverable. Customer will provide Shakudo with written notification of acceptance for each Deliverable promptly upon acceptance; however, failure to reject a Deliverable, as set forth below, will be deemed acceptance. If Customer, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, determines that any submitted Deliverable does not satisfy the agreed-upon acceptance criteria as specified in the applicable SOW or as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties for such Deliverable, Customer must so notify Shakudo in writing within 10 business days after Shakudo ’s submission of the Deliverable, specifying the deficiencies in detail. Shakudo will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such deficiencies and resubmit the Deliverable to Customer as soon as practicable. Customer will again review and test the Deliverable against the agreed-upon acceptance criteria, and detail any deficiencies to Shakudo in writing within 10 business days after resubmission of the Deliverable. If a Deliverable fails to meet the functional requirements specified in the applicable SOW after its second resubmission to Customer, Customer may either, as its sole and exclusive remedy: (i) again reject the Deliverable and return it to Shakudo for further correction and resubmission in accordance with the process described above (if the Deliverable is not accepted after two resubmissions, the matter will be escalated to Customer’s executive sponsor for the project associated with the SOW and the Shakudo Engagement Manager) or (ii) terminate the relevant SOW immediately upon written notice and recover all Fees paid under such SOW or for such deficient Deliverable.

Customer Dependencies.
  18. Customer will cooperate with Shakudo in the performance of the Professional Services and in the development of Deliverables, including by providing access (whether onsite or remotely, as specified in the applicable SOW) to Customer’s personnel, systems, equipment, or communications facilities, as reasonably requested by Shakudo from time to time and perform other applicable customer responsibilities set out in Section 7.4 below and in a SOW (“Customer Dependencies”). If Customer has not performed its Customer Dependencies including but not limited to providing all necessary cooperation or information to Shakudo , or Shakudo is otherwise denied or delayed access or information by Customer, then Shakudo will be excused, without liability, from performing any further Professional Services. Such failure to perform Professional Services resulting from Customer’s failures will not relieve Customer from its payment obligations to Shakudo.
  19. Unless otherwise set out in the applicable SOW, for each SOW, Customer will:
  20. provide timely access to all information requested by Shakudo for matters related to the Professional Services;
  21. provide administrator-level access to Shakudo to enable service delivery, installation, and configuration;
  22. make available at no charge to Shakudo all information and key Customer personnel required by Shakudo in connection with the Professional Services (collectively, “Customer Resources”);
  23. accept each completed Milestone or Deliverable prior to Shakudo commencing work on the next Milestone or Deliverable; and
  24. Customer will log all incidents with Shakudo as soon as they become aware of the incident.
  25. Change Requests.
  26. Changes. Any service or deliverable not specifically set out in a SOW will be considered out-of-scope and not included in the Professional Services or Deliverables. The parties may request any change to the nature or scope of any Professional Services or Deliverables then-currently provided (each, a “Change”) pursuant to this Section 8.
  27. Change Order Process. If, after Shakudo ’s commencement of Professional Services set out in a SOW, either party requires a Change, such party will set out the new requirements in writing and deliver such request to the other party. Following a request made by Customer (or, in the case of a request made by Shakudo , concurrently with such request), Shakudo will use commercially reasonable efforts to describe in writing the estimated impact of such Change to the costs, Milestones, timeline, Customer responsibilities, and other relevant aspects of the Professional Services or Deliverables. If Customer agrees with such written description of the estimated impact, then the parties will negotiate in good faith a Change order setting out the detailed terms and conditions pursuant to which the Change will be implemented (“Change Order”). If Customer disagrees with such written description of the estimated impact and the parties are unable to reach agreement on the impact of such proposed Change, then no such Changes to the SOW will be effective, and Shakudo will perform the Professional Services in accordance with the original SOW.
  28. Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING SECTIONS 10.1 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH OR UNDER THIS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ADDENDUM OR APPLICABLE SOW, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE SPECIFIC SOW OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE.
