8. INDEMNIFICATION
8.1. Indemnification by Licensor
Licensor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensee, its Affiliates and sublicensees, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including attorneys' fees, the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers (collectively, "Losses"), arising out of or in connection with any third-party claim, suit, action, allegation or proceeding ("Third-Party Claim"):
(a) relating to any actual or alleged breach or misrepresentation by Licensor of, inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, any representation, warranty, covenant, or other obligation hereunder;
(b) relating to the subject matter of the Licensed Titles or any other Materials or deliverables;
(c) resulting directly or indirectly from the Licensed Titles or the use of the Licensed Titles or any Materials or deliverables in accordance with the Agreement; or
(d) that the Licensed Titles (or any part thereof) or the Licensor Marks constitute an infringement or misappropriation of a Third Party Intellectual Property Right.
8.2. Indemnification by Licensee
Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor, its Affiliates and sublicensees, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, from and against any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third-Party Claim:
(a) relating to any actual or alleged breach or misrepresentation by Licensee of, inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, any representation, warranty, covenant, or other obligation hereunder; or
(b) that the Licensee Marks or other Licensee intellectual property constitute an infringement or misappropriation of a Third Party Intellectual Property Right.
8.3. Procedure for Indemnification
A party entitled to indemnification under Section 8 of these Terms and Conditions ("Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the party from whom it is seeking indemnification ("Indemnifying Party") on becoming aware of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under Section 8 of these Terms and Conditions ("Indemnified Claim"). The Indemnifying Party shall promptly assume control of the defense and investigation of the Indemnified Claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith, in each case at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claim, with counsel of its own choosing and at its own cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party will not settle any Indemnified Claim on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Indemnified Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Indemnified Claim, including settling such Indemnified Claim after giving notice to the Indemnifying Party, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate. Neither the Indemnified Party's failure to perform any obligation under this Section nor any act or omission of the Indemnified Party in the defense or settlement of any Indemnified Claim will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 8 of these Terms and Conditions, including with respect to any Losses, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result thereof.
8.4. Additional Considerations
If any of the Licensed Titles unintentionally infringe or otherwise violate any Third Party Intellectual Property Rights or applicable law, or are the subject of a claim, action, suit, allegation or proceeding that is finally settled, adjusted, or compromised such that Licensor is no longer entitled to permit Licensee to distribute certain Licensed Titles as provided in the Agreement, Licensor shall notify Licensee promptly in writing and all licenses hereunder shall be revoked in respect of those specific Licensed Titles. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the revoked Licensed Titles from Victory+ within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of such notice and to cause Licensed Titles to be removed from platforms under Third Party control as soon as possible after receipt of such notice. Licensor and Licensee shall then promptly communicate and mutually agree in writing on substitute works of equivalent market interest to be provided as Licensed Titles to Licensee, which substitute works are subject to Licensee's sole approval, acceptance, and option to play, whereupon such substitute Licensed Titles shall be included in the rights and licenses granted under the Agreement. Licensor shall notify Licensee if circumstances with respect to the works so removed materially change, at which point Licensee shall hold the option to re-license such works as Licensed Titles on the same terms set forth in the Agreement.
9. GENERAL TERMS
9.1. Confidentiality
Each Party acknowledges that any Confidential Information that has been disclosed to it by the other Party has been disclosed solely for the performance of its duties hereunder and both Parties agree that all Confidential Information provided by the other Party is the exclusive property of the disclosing Party.

The impacted Party shall promptly give notice of the Force Majeure Event to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. The impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The impacted Party shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. If the impacted Party's failure or delay remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice given by it under this Section, the other Party which received notice from the impacted Party may thereafter unilaterally terminate the Agreement on ten (10) days' written notice.
9.5. Entire Agreement and Amendment
The Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof, superseding any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings (whether written or oral).

All notices shall be in English and in writing and sent to the contact information under the signature block to the Agreement. A Party may change its address for notices by written notice given in accordance with this Section.
9.7. Waiver
Waiver by any Party of a material breach or default or a succession of such breaches or defaults, shall not deprive such Party of the right to terminate the Agreement by reason of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by any Party to exercise any right or enforce any obligation shall be construed as a waiver or ongoing waiver of that or any other right or power, unless made in writing and signed by the Parties.
9.8. Survival
The provisions of the Agreement that by their nature are designed to survive termination or expiration of the Agreement will survive such termination or expiration, including the provisions respecting ownership of Intellectual Property Rights, confidentiality, and non-disparagement and Sections 2, 7.3, 7.4, 8, and 9 of these Terms and Conditions.

Each Party agrees to comply with all applicable foreign or domestic anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, as in effect from time to time, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the UK Bribery Act 2010, and any laws intended to implement the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (collectively, "Anti-Corruption Laws"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party agrees not to make, authorize, offer, or promise to make or give any money or any other thing of value, directly or indirectly, to any current or former government official or employee (including employees of a state-owned or controlled enterprise or of a public international organization), candidate for political office, or an official of a political party, or any employee, director or consultant of a non-government client or potential client, for the purpose of securing any improper or unfair advantage or obtaining or retaining business in connection with the activities contemplated hereunder or for the purpose of improperly inducing or rewarding favorable treatment or advantage in connection with the Agreement. Each Party agrees to immediately notify the other of any request that it receives to take any action that might constitute, or be construed as, a violation of the Anti-Corruption Laws.

In the performance of Licensor's obligations under the Agreement, Licensor shall comply with the following Licensee policies (collectively, the "Licensee Policies"): (i) the Privacy Policy; (ii) Victory+ Content Standards; (iii) the Specifications; and (iv) any other policies posted on Licensee's and/or Victory+'s website (or provided by Licensee to Licensor) which Victory deems, in its sole discretion, are necessary for Licensor to perform its obligations under the Agreement. The Licensee Policies may be updated by Licensee from time to time in its sole discretion and Licensor's continued performance under the Agreement after the posting of such updated Licensee Policies online by Licensee shall be deemed acceptance by Licensor of such updated Licensee Policies.
9.11. Remedies Cumulative and Equitable Relief
Except as expressly set forth herein, no remedy conferred upon either of the Parties by the Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given under the Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Additionally, each Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that any breach by a Party that could be subject to equitable claims, including a failure by a Party to perform its obligations under Section 9.1 of these Terms and Conditions, may result in damage to the other Party for which monetary damages may not provide sufficient relief and such Party is entitled to seek specific performance or an injunction (without posting a bond) to enforce its rights in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
9.12. Severability
If the application of any provision or provisions of the Agreement to any particular facts or circumstances is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of such provision or provisions as applied to any other particular facts or circumstances and the validity of other provisions of the Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the Parties agree that any such court of competent jurisdiction making such determination shall have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with the provision's objectives such that it is valid and enforceable.
9.13. Independent Contractors
The Parties acknowledge and agree that they are dealing with each other as independent contractors. Neither the Agreement nor any of its terms may be construed to: (a) give any Party the power to direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other Party (except for Licensee's right to act as attorney-in-fact with respect to certain rights granted pursuant to the terms of the Agreement); (b) create or constitute a partnership, joint venture, franchise, employment or agency relationship between the Parties; or (c) allow any Party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever.
