Tiptree shall promptly notify User in writing of any Action for which Tiptree believes it is entitled to be indemnified under Section 12.1.

User shall immediately take control of the defence and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at User’s sole cost and expense.

Tiptree may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.
If any of the Services or Tiptree Materials are, or in Tiptree’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third-party IP Right, or if User’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Services or Tiptree Materials is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Tiptree may, at its option and sole cost and expense:

User may terminate this Agreement if such failure or delay continues for a period of [30] days or more.

This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified upon written agreement of the Parties.
The failure or delay by a Party in enforcing, or insisting upon strict performance of, any legally binding provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such provision or in any way affect the enforceability of any legally binding provisions of this Agreement.
