The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after Genesys’ receipt of Customer’s notice of dispute (the “Resolution Period”), during which time Customer’s withholding of the disputed amount will not be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Upon resolution of the dispute, Customer will pay the resolved amount promptly but in any case within ten (10) days of mutual written agreement resolving the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within the thirty-day (30) Resolution Period, then each party will be entitled to pursue all available remedies.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION
3.1. The term of the Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall continue for the duration of any effective Services Orders or SOWs. The Initial Subscription Term will commence upon the Scheduled Provisioning Date.
3.2. In the absence of a written non-renewal notice provided at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable Term, each Subscription Term shall automatically renew for Renewal Subscription Terms as set forth in the applicable Services Order.
3.3. Either party will have the right to terminate the Agreement by written notice to the other party if (a) the other party has breached a material obligation under the Agreement or any Services Order or SOW and such breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is sent to the other party; provided such breach is curable, it being understood that a breach of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 are incurable.; or (b) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Genesys’ efforts to cure the breach may not exceed 120 days from Customer’s notice.
3.4. Notwithstanding any term in the Agreement to the contrary, Genesys reserves the right to suspend the Genesys Cloud Services, or portion thereof, or reject or cancel the transmission of any information through the Genesys Cloud Service based upon (i) reasonable belief that the use of the Genesys Cloud Services is in violation of applicable Laws, (ii) Customer’s failure to pay amounts when due, or (iii) an imminent compromise to the security or integrity of the network.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
4.1. All Intellectual Property Rights in the Services (and other materials or services provided hereunder) remain the exclusive property of Genesys and its licensors or suppliers, as applicable.

4.4. To the extent not already owned by Genesys and subject in each case to Section 12.1 to the extent Customer is identified by name or logo, Customer, on behalf of itself and its Related Parties, hereby grants Genesys a perpetual, exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use or disclose (or choose not to use or disclose), and create derivative works of Feedback for any purpose, in any way, in any media worldwide.
4.5. Nothing in this Agreement precludes or limits Genesys in any way from providing materials or services that are similar to materials or services provided or contemplated in this Agreement or developing deliverables or other materials or services that are similar to or compete with any materials or services developed as a result of this Agreement, regardless of their similarity to any Services. Genesys will be free to use any concepts, processes, techniques, improvements or other know-how developed by Genesys in the course of performance of this Agreement free from any use restriction or payment obligation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel of its own choice, at its own expense, in respect of the subject of the Indemnification, for purposes including services as co-counsel, or to monitor the defense provided by the Indemnifying Party’s appointed counsel.
