7.2 Intellectual property.
(a) Subject to the limitations in this Section 7, Cognida.ai will defend you and your employees, officers, and directors against any third-party claim alleging that the Services infringe or misappropriate that third party’s intellectual property rights, and will pay the amount of any adverse final judgment or settlement.
(b) Subject to the limitations in this Section 7, you will defend Cognida.ai, its affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, and directors against any third-party claim alleging that any of Your Content infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights, and will pay the amount of any adverse final judgment or settlement.
(c) Neither party will have obligations or liability under this Section 7.2 arising from infringement by combinations of the Services or Your Content, as applicable, with any other product, service, software, data, content or method. In addition, Cognida.ai will have no obligations or liability arising from your or any End User’s use of the Services after Cognida.ai has notified you to discontinue such use. The remedies provided in this Section 7.2 are the sole and exclusive remedies for any third-party claims of infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights by the Services or by Your Content.

7.3 Process. The obligations under this Section 7 will apply only if the party seeking defence or indemnity: (a) gives the other party prompt written notice of the claim; (b) permits the other party to control the defence and settlement of the claim; and (c) reasonably cooperates with the other party (at the other party’s expense) in the defence and settlement of the claim. In no event will a party agree to any settlement of any claim that involves any commitment, other than the payment of money, without the written consent of the other party.
