9 Intellectual property rights

The Customer acknowledges that all Intellectual Property Rights in the Software, Reports and any Maintenance Releases belong and shall belong to the Supplier, and the Customer shall have no rights in or to the Software other than the right to use it in accordance with the terms of this licence.
The Supplier undertakes at its own expense to defend the Customer or, at its option, settle any claim or action brought against the Customer alleging that the possession or use of the Software (or any part thereof) in accordance with the terms of this licence infringes the UK Intellectual Property Rights of a third party (Claim) and shall be responsible for any reasonable losses, damages, costs (including reasonable legal fees) and reasonable expenses incurred by or awarded against the Customer as a result of or in connection with any such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, clause 9.2 shall not apply where the Claim in question is attributable to possession or use of the Software (or any part thereof) by the Customer other than in accordance with the terms of this licence, use of the Software in combination with any hardware or software not supplied or specified by the Supplier if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of the Software not so combined, or use of a non-current release of the Software.
If any third party makes a Claim, or notifies an intention to make a Claim against the Customer, the Supplier’s obligations under clause 9.2 are conditional on the Customer:
1. as soon as reasonably practicable, giving written notice of the Claim to the Supplier, specifying the nature of the Claim in reasonable detail;
2. not making any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in relation to the Claim without the prior written consent of the Supplier (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed);
3. giving the Supplier and its professional advisers access at reasonable times (on reasonable prior notice) to its premises and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or advisers, and to any relevant assets, accounts, documents and records within the power or control of the Customer, so as to enable the Supplier and its professional advisers to examine them and to take copies (at the Supplier’s expense) for the purpose of assessing the Claim; and
4. taking such action as the Supplier may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, compromise or defend the Claim.
If any Claim is made, or in the Supplier’s reasonable opinion is likely to be made, against the Customer, the Supplier may at its sole option and expense:
1. procure for the Customer the right to continue to use the Software (or any part thereof) in accordance with the terms of this licence;
2. modify the Software so that it ceases to be infringing;
3. replace the Software with non-infringing software; or
