8.3 Injunctive Relief. Both parties hereby agree that the Confidential Information to be disclosed hereunder is of a unique and valuable character, that damages to the Disclosing Party that would result from the unauthorized dissemination of its Confidential Information would be impossible to calculate and that such party agrees that the Disclosing Party has no adequate remedy at law. The parties further agree that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief (without the posting of any bond or other security) preventing the further use and/or disclosure of any Confidential Information in violation of the terms hereof.
8.4 Return and Destruction. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will, upon written request of the Disclosing Party, promptly destroy or return the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and all copies thereof, provided that the Receiving Party shall not be obligated to erase Confidential Information contained in archived computer system backups in accordance with its security and/or disaster recovery procedures, provided further that the Receiving Party will continue to be subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement with respect to any such retained Confidential Information for so long as such Confidential Information is retained.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Carbon6 shall have no liability or obligation hereunder with respect to any Infringement Claim to the extent arising from or related to (a) any use of the Product not in accordance with this Agreement and the Documentation; (b) modifications, adaptations, alterations, or enhancements of the Product not created by or for Carbon6; (c) the combination of the Product with items not supplied by Carbon6 or approved for use with the Product by Carbon6 in the Documentation to the extent such claim would not have arisen but for the combination; or (d) Customer’s continuing use of any version of the Product after an update, modification or replacement of the Product is made available to the Customer and Customer fails to implement within a reasonable period of time.

10.3 Customer Indemnification. Customer shall hold Carbon6 and its affiliates harmless from liability to third parties resulting from (a) Customer’s or its Affiliates' negligence or willful misconduct; (b) such third party’s claim that the Customer Data infringes its intellectual property rights; (c) any breach of Customer’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, a Sales Order or the Terms of Service; or (d) Customer’s use of the Products in violation of this Agreement, the applicable Sales Order or the Terms of Service.
