another provision of this Agreement.
7.2 Automatic Renewal. UNLESS AND UNTIL TERMINATED BY EITHER PARTY PURSUANT

THE OTHER PARTY AT LEAST SIXTY (60) DAYS PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED EXPIRATION OF
THE THEN-CURRENT TERM, THE TERM SHALL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND BE
EXTENDED UPON ITS EXPIRATION (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PREVIOUSLY RENEWED

and in reasonable detail, of the nature and extent of such failure within thirty (30) days
after the completion of the applicable Compliance Services, MSDSonline shall re-
perform or cure any portion of such Compliance Services that fail to satisfy the
foregoing limited warranty; or(ii) if, after being provided with notice as described in the
foregoing clause (i), MSDSonline determines, in its sole discretion, that it is unable to re-
perform or cure the Compliance Services in a manner that complies with such warranty
through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, MSDSonline will refund to
Customer the fees paid for such portion of the Compliance Services during the
immediately preceding twelve (12) months.
8.3 Power and Authority. Customer represents that it is financially solvent and that it
has the requisite legal and corporate power, right, and authority to enter into this
Agreement, to grant the rights it purports to grant hereunder, and to perform its duties
and fulfill its obligations hereunder.
8.4 Accuracy of Information. Customer represents that all information provided to
MSDSonline in connection with this Agreement is, and warrants that all information
provided to MSDSonline hereunder shall be, true, complete, and correct in all material
respects, to the best of Customer's ability, knowledge, and belief.

event of such a claim, MSDSonline may, in its discretion, either procure a license to
enable Customer to continue to use the allegedly infringing item or develop or obtain a
non-infringing substitute of substantially equivalent functionality and performance. If

modification made by MSDSonline pursuant to Customer's order or specification or in
reliance on materials or information provided by Customer; or (iii) the use by Customer
(or by anyone under Customer's direction or control) of the Service other than in

indemnify, and hold MSDSonline harmless from and against all Claims, and shall pay all
Losses, arising out of or related to third-party claims based upon: (i) Customer's (or that
of anyone authorized by Customer) use, non-use, or modification of any MSDSonline
Materials; (ii) an MSDS or other content posted by Customer or by MSDSonline at
Customer's direction which infringes upon a United States' copyright or any United
States' patent or (iii) the violation of any rights of any third party in connection with
Customer's (or that of anyone authorized by Customer) use, non-use, or modification of
any MSDSonline Materials.
