If, during a three (3) year period following the effective date of the Agreement, the Solutions and/or MyFittingBox is held or is believed by FITTINGBOX to infringe a Third Party’s intellectual property right, FITTINGBOX shall have the option, at its sole discretion and expense, to modify such element to be non-infringing or obtain for the CLIENT a license to continue using it; If it is not technically feasible at a reasonable cost and/or deadline, then FITTINGBOX may terminate the License and refund the License fee paid, in a pro-rata basis taking in consideration the period of effective use. The indemnification of the CLIENT is limited, in any case, to the sums paid by the CLIENT for acquiring the License.
 
Any unauthorized or non-compliant use of the Solutions and/or MyFittingBox and/or the content of Fittingbox Database shall be considered as a counterfeit act and the CLIENT shall be solely responsible for any damages it may occur or cause in relation thereto, including any damages or remedies in the aggregate caused by any Third Party claim or action related hereto, and without prejudice to any remedies, damages and/or other rights that may be claimed by FITTINGBOX. The CLIENT shall hold FITTINGBOX harmless of any claims or damage, including from Third Parties, resulting from the breach of this warranty. FITTINGBOX shall also be discharged from all related liability.
 
In case of any failure or breach of this section 8, for any reason whatsoever and including by negligence: (i) FITTINGBOX shall be entitled to immediately revoke the access to the Solutions and/or MyFittingBox and/or Fittingbox Database and/or terminate this Agreement, with no need for any authorization whatsoever from a court and without incurring liability, and without prejudice to any direct and/or indirect damages FITTINGBOX may claim in result of such breach; (ii) the Client shall indemnify FITTINGBOX up to the incurred loss and reimburse any profit and/or savings eventually earned by breaching this obligation and (iii) the CLIENT shall fully indemnify FITTINGBOX against all direct and indirect loss, damage, cost and expense which may be incurred by FITTINGBOX by reason of infringement of its Intellectual Property rights.

If the CLIENT ceases to be a member of such network during the performance of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, the standard terms and/or prices of FITTINGBOX shall apply automatically and immediately for the remaining term of the Agreement.

If the CLIENT fails to pay when due, FITTINGBOX shall invoice an 8% late interests penalty of the overdue invoice(s), or the maximum permitted by the applicable law – even at a State level, from the first day of delay and without a prior reminder.
