The foregoing infringement indemnity will not apply and Medidata will not be liable for any damages assessed in any cause of action to the extent such cause of action arises from a Customer Infringement Event or Medidata’s use of Customer Data as contemplated by this Agreement. If any Subscription Service is held or believed to infringe on any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, Medidata may, in its sole discretion, (i) [***], (ii) [***], or (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) are practical, terminate the applicable Sales Order as to the infringing Service and return to Customer any unearned fees prepaid by Customer to Medidata.
