Duty To Defend Option Sample Clauses

Duty To Defend Option. The insurer does not assume any duty to defend. The insureds shall defend and contest any claim made against them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the policyholder shall have the right to tender the defence of a claim to the insurer. This right shall be exercised in writing by the policyholder on behalf of all insureds to the insurer pursuant to the notice provisions of Section 5.5(i) of this policy, as soon as practicable after the claim is first made against an insured. This right shall terminate if not exercised within fifteen (15) days of the date the claim is first made against an insured. Further, from the date the claim is first made against the insureds to the date when the insurer accepts the tender of the defence of such claim, the insureds shall take no action, or fail to take any required action, that prejudices the rights of the insureds or the insurer with respect to such claim. Provided that the insureds have complied with the foregoing, the insurer shall be obligated to assume the defence of the claim, even if such claim is groundless, false or fraudulent. The assumption of the defence of the claim shall be effective upon written confirmation sent thereof by the insurer to the policyholder. Once the defence has been so tendered, the insurer shall have the right to select counsel to defend the claim and shall have the right to determine defence strategy. The insured shall have the right to associate with the insurer in the Defence strategy and the negotiation of any settlement of any claim. The insurer, however, shall not be obligated to defend such claim after the Limit of Liability has been exhausted, or after an insured’s rejection of a settlement opportunity as discussed in 5.6.

  • Obligation to Defend; Notice; Cooperation Whenever a claim arises for indemnification under this Section (the “Claim”), the relevant Indemnitee, as appropriate, will promptly notify the Indemnifying party and request the Indemnifying Party to defend the same. Failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that the Indemnifying Party might have, except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party's rights or ability to defend such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend against such Claim in which event the Indemnifying Party will give written notice to the Indemnitee of acceptance of the defense of such Claim and the identity of counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. Except as set forth below, such notice to the relevant Indemnitee will give the Indemnifying Party full authority to defend, adjust, compromise, or settle such Claim with respect to which such notice has been given, except to the extent that any compromise or settlement might prejudice the Intellectual Property Rights or other rights of the relevant Indemnities. The Indemnifying Party will consult with the relevant Indemnitee prior to any compromise or settlement that would affect the Intellectual Property Rights or other rights of any Indemnitee, and the relevant Indemnitee will have the right to refuse such compromise or settlement and, at such Indemnitee’s sole cost, to take over defense of such Claim. Provided, however, that in such event the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for, nor will it be obligated to indemnify the relevant Indemnitee against any damages, costs, expenses, or liabilities, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees, in excess of such refused compromise or settlement. With respect to any defense accepted by the Indemnifying Party, the relevant Indemnitee will be entitled to participate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense if the Claim requests equitable relief or other relief (other than monetary damages) that could affect the rights of the Indemnitee and also will be entitled to employ separate counsel for such defense at such Indemnitee's expense. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any indemnified Claim as provided above, the relevant Indemnitee will have the right to employ counsel for such defense at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all costs associated with Indemnitee’s defense of such Claim including court costs, and any settlement or damages awarded a third party. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to cause its employees and agents to cooperate with the other Party in the defense of any such Claim.

  • Failure to Defend If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense, compromise, settlement or consent to judgment.
