In the event that any portion of the Work Product is held to, or Arctic Reservations believes is likely to be held to, infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party, Arctic Reservations shall have the right at its sole option and expense to (i) substitute or modify the Work Product so that it is non-infringing, (ii) obtain for the Company a license to continue using the Work Product, or (iii) require the return, or discontinued use, of the infringing Work Product. If such return materially affects your ability to conduct your business, then you may elect to terminate Services. This section sets forth your sole and exclusive remedy for intellectual property infringement by Arctic Reservations.
