Customer confirms that it has granted such access to Workleap. Customer understands and agrees that this access includes the access to the content of the files stored by Customer in its Microsoft 365 tenant, although ShareGate does not intend to access such content.

5. Fees
5.1. ShareGate Subscription Fees. In consideration for the ShareGate Subscription described under Section 2 hereof, Customer shall pay Workleap, at the beginning of the Term, the annual fees specified on the Pricing page of its website for the subscription term selected by Customer, unless other payment terms have been agreed to in writing, for instance in a quote, between Customer and Workleap (the “Subscription Fees”). Customer’s subscription will be automatically renewed on the first day following the expiration of the Term (the “Renewal Date”) for the same subscription term as the then expiring subscription term, unless Customer cancels its subscription before the Renewal Date in accordance with Section 4.2. Workleap shall send to Customer a prior notice of renewal at least 30 days before the Renewal Date, and thus if Customer no longer wishes to renew the ShareGate Subscription, Customer is responsible for timely canceling its subscription in accordance with Section 4.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Subscription Fees applicable to any such renewal shall be Workleap’s then-current standard Subscription Fees.
5.2. Free Trial.

Unless otherwise stated, the Subscription Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying Taxes except those assessable against Workleap based on its income. Workleap will invoice Customer for such Taxes if Workleap has a legal obligation to do so, and Customer shall pay such Taxes if so invoiced.

6.3. Disclosure of Customer Data. Unless it receives Customer’s prior written consent, Workleap shall not intentionally grant any third-party access to Customer Data, except to Workleap’s third-party service providers in connection with the provision, the performance or the improvement of ShareGate. Before sharing any Customer Data with any of its third-party service providers, Workleap will ensure that such third party maintains data practices for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Customer Data and preventing unauthorized access providing a level of protection equivalent or greater than that afforded by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Workleap may disclose Customer Data as required by applicable law or by a lawful order of a governmental authority.

9.3. Indemnification for IP Claim. Workleap will defend the Customer against any third-party claim, suit or proceeding arising out of or related to a claim that ShareGate, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or violates any intellectual property right (an “IP Claim”). Workleap will indemnify the Customer for any costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) associated with the defense or settlement of and/or damages finally awarded against the Customer in any IP Claim.

The indemnification obligations in this section are subject to: (i) prompt notification in writing by the Customer of any IP Claim (provided however, that the delay or failure to give such notification shall not affect the Customer's entitlement to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that Workleap shall have been prejudiced as a result of such delay or failure) (ii) the transfer of sole control of the defense and any related settlement negotiations to Workleap, unless agreed otherwise by the Parties; and (iii) the Customer’s cooperation, at Workleap’s expense, in the defense of such claim. THIS SECTION STATES WORKLEAP'S SOLE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY, AND THE CUSTOMER'S SOLE REMEDY, FOR BREACH OF THE WARRANTY IN SECTION 9.1 AND FOR POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT BY SHAREGATE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, WORKLEAP SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO THE CUSTOMER IF THE INFRINGEMENT ALLEGED IN THE IP CLAIM RESULTS FROM USE OF SHAREGATE IN COMBINATION WITH HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE NOT PROVIDED BY WORKLEAP.
