7. INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. If notified promptly in writing of any action (and all prior claims relating thereto) brought against Subscriber alleging that Subscriber's use of CoSign Service(s)infringes a United States patent, copyright or other proprietary right, DocuSign will defend such action at its expense and will pay the costs and damages awarded against Subscriber in such action, provided that (i) such claim of infringement arises solely from use of CoSign Service(s) itself, and not as a consequence of CoSign Service(s) combination with any other products or technology, and (ii) DocuSign shall have sole control of the defense of any such action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise. If a final injunction is obtained in such action against Subscriber's use of CoSign Service(s) or in DocuSign’s opinion CoSign Service(s) is likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, DocuSign shall, at its option and at its expense, either procure for Subscriber the right to continue using CoSign Service(s); replace or modify CoSign Service(s) so that it becomes non-infringing or accept Subscriber's return and cancelation of this Agreement. DocuSign shall not have any liability to Subscriber if the alleged infringement is based upon (a) DocuSign’s compliance with Subscriber's designs, specifications or instructions, in which case Subscriber shall defend and hold DocuSign harmless against any expenses, judgment or loss for alleged infringement of any patents, copyrights or trademarks; (b) patent issued on a patent application published after the Order Start Date; (c) incorporation by the Software or combination, operation or use of the Software in or with any technology (including any software, hardware, firmware, system or network) or service not provided by DocuSign or specified for Subscriber’s use in the Documentation, unless otherwise expressly permitted by DocuSign in writing; (d) modification of the Software other than: (i) by DocuSign in connection with this Agreement; or (ii) with DocuSign’s express written authorization and in strict accordance with DocuSign’s written directions and specifications; (e) failure to timely implement any Update or Upgrade, modification, or replacement of the Software made available to Subscriber by DocuSign; (f) use of the Software after DocuSign’s notice to Subscriber of such activity's alleged or actual infringement, misappropriation or other violation of a third party's rights; (g) negligence, abuse, misapplication or misuse of the Software or Documentation by or on behalf of Subscriber, Subscriber’s representatives or a third party; (h) use of the Software or Documentation by or on behalf of Subscriber that is outside the purpose, scope or manner of use authorized by this Agreement or in any manner contrary to DocuSign’s instructions; events or circumstances outside of DocuSign’s commercially reasonable control (including any third-party hardware, software or system bugs, defects or malfunctions). No costs or expenses shall be incurred for the account of DocuSign without the prior written consent of DocuSign. In no event shall DocuSign’s total liability to Subscriber under or as a result of compliance with the provisions of this Section 7 (“Infringement of Third Party Proprietary Rights”) exceed the sum paid to DocuSign by Subscriber under this Agreement. The foregoing states Subscriber’s sole remedy and the entire liability of DocuSign with respect to alleged infringement of any third party proprietary rights by CoSign Service(s), Equipment or any part thereof or by its operation.
(i) IN NO EVENT WILL DOCUSIGN BE LIABLE TO SUBSCRIBER FOR (a) REPROCUREMENT COSTS; (b) SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (c) ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF COSIGN SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAUSE OF ACTION IS IN CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER FORM.

(iii) No person, including any dealer, agent or representative of DocuSign is authorized to assume for DocuSign any other liability on its behalf except as set forth herein.

8.2 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. ALL DOCUSIGN EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND COSIGN SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS”. DOCUSIGN DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND COSIGN SERVICES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
