Infringement Remedy: If You are enjoined or otherwise prohibited from using any of the Software or a portion thereof based on a Third Party Intellectual Property infringement claim covered by Our indemnification obligations under this Clause above, then We will, at Our sole expense and option, either:

22.4.1. obtain for You the right to use the allegedly infringing portions of the Software;

22.4.2. modify the allegedly infringing portions of the Software so as to render them non-infringing without substantially diminishing or impairing their functionality; or

22.4.3. replace the allegedly infringing portions of the Software with non-infringing items of substantially similar functionality. If We determine that the foregoing remedies are not commercially reasonable, then We will promptly provide a prorated refund to You for any prepaid fees received by Us under this Agreement that correspond to the unused portion of the Subscription Term. The remedy set out in this Clause is Your sole and exclusive remedy for any actual or alleged infringement by Us of any Third Party Intellectual Property Rights in the event that You are enjoined or otherwise prohibited from using any of the Software or a portion thereof based on a claim covered by Our indemnification obligations under this Clause. This limitation shall not apply in the case of FastLaw’s willful misconduct.

22.5. You shall not, without the prior express written approval of FastLaw, attempt to, or settle, dispose or enter into any proposed settlement or resolution of any Claim (whether having been finally adjudicated or otherwise) brought against You, if such settlement or resolution results in any obligation or liability for FastLaw. Provided that this clause shall survive termination of this Agreement, howsoever occurred, and termination of Your access and/or use of Our Site or Software.

25.2. Any and all waivers by either party hereto of any provision, condition or requirement of the Agreement will only be effective against the other Party if it is in writing and signed by an authorized officer of that Party, and any such written waiver will not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
