GoTab further warrants to Merchant that the GoTab Solution will operate free from Errors during the Term, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the GoTab Solution not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (b) any use of the GoTab Solution in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by GoTab; or (c) any modification of the GoTab Solution by any person other than GoTab or its authorized agents.

In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that (to the extent legally permissible) the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order.
10.1 By GoTab. GoTab will defend at its expense any suit brought against Merchant, and will pay any settlement GoTab makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the GoTab Solution infringes such third party’s patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America.

GoTab further warrants to Merchant that the GoTab Solution will operate free from Errors during the Term, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the GoTab Solution not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (b) any use of the GoTab Solution in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by GoTab; or (c) any modification of the GoTab Solution by any person other than GoTab or its authorized agents.

In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that (to the extent legally permissible) the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order.
10.1 By GoTab. GoTab will defend at its expense any suit brought against Merchant, and will pay any settlement GoTab makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the GoTab Solution infringes such third party’s patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America.
