Monarch Works shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Losses") finally awarded against Customer arising from any third-party claim, action, or proceeding ("Third-Party Claim") alleging that the unmodified Subscription Services, as provided by Monarch and used in accordance with this Agreement, directly infringe or misappropriate such third party's valid U.S. patent, copyright, or trade secret.
12.2 Conditions
Monarch's indemnification obligations are conditioned upon Customer:
- Promptly notifying Monarch in writing of the Third-Party Claim (provided that failure to give prompt notice will only relieve Monarch of its obligations to the extent materially prejudiced);
- Providing reasonable cooperation in the defense and settlement of the claim; and
- Granting Monarch sole control over the defense and settlement of the Third-Party Claim (except that Monarch may not settle any claim that admits liability or imposes non-monetary obligations on Customer without Customer's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld).
If a Third-Party Claim is made or, in Monarch's reasonable opinion, is likely to be made, Monarch may, at its sole discretion and expense:
- Modify or replace the affected portion of the Services to make them non-infringing;
- Obtain the right for Customer to continue using the Services; or
- If neither (a) nor (b) is commercially reasonable, terminate the affected Services upon written notice and provide a pro rata refund of prepaid, unused fees for the terminated portion.

- Customer Content, Inputs, Outputs, or end-user data, including any claim that such materials infringe, misappropriate, or violate intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
- Customer's or Authorized Users' use of the Services, including any products, applications, or services built, deployed, or operated using the Platform;

The arbitration shall take place in California, in Los Angeles County, unless the parties mutually agree to a different location. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or remedy actual or threatened misuse of intellectual property or breach of confidentiality, without waiving the right to arbitrate any other claims.
- Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to legal@monarchworks.ai within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms.
