Infringement Actions Sample Clauses

The Infringement Actions clause defines the procedures and responsibilities of the parties if a third party claims that the use of a product, service, or intellectual property under the agreement infringes on their rights. Typically, this clause outlines which party will defend against such claims, who will bear the costs, and how any settlements or damages will be handled. For example, it may require the provider to indemnify the customer and take control of the legal defense. Its core function is to allocate risk and responsibility for intellectual property disputes, ensuring that both parties understand their obligations and are protected in the event of infringement claims.
