  3. assists and fully co-operates with Go People in the defence or settlement of the claim; and
  4. does not take and ensures that no Entity takes any action that prejudices Go People’s ability to defend or settle the claim.

14.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Go People is not responsible or liable for any infringement of a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights if the infringement would not otherwise exist except for:

1. 1. the use of the Application with any other software or equipment;
  2. any corrections to or modifications of the Application database other than by Go People (even if performed by a Certified Party);
  3. modifications to the Application in compliance with the Sender’s specifications or requirements;
  4. a failure to promptly implement a New Release made available by Go People;
  5. any breach of this Agreement by the Sender or an Entity, or any unauthorised use, access or modification to the Application by the Sender, an Entity or a third party,

and in such circumstances Go People’s obligations under clause 14.2 do not apply.

14.4 If the Application is or is likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, Go People may at its sole discretion:

1. 1. procure for the Sender and any Entity the right to use the Application or the affected part of it;
  2. replace or modify the Application to make it non infringing; or
  3. require the return of the Application and refund to the Sender any Plan Pricing paid for the Application for the remainder of the then current term.

14.5 If Go People’s use or possession of the Application is determined by an independent tribunal of fact or law to infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of a third person, the Sender and any Entity must cease using the Application immediately and Go People will refund to the Sender any Plan Pricing paid for the remainder of the then current term.

14.6 To the extent permitted by law and subject to clause 18.6, clauses 14.2 to 14.5 state Go People’s entire liability and the Sender’s sole and exclusive remedies for any claim of infringement of third party’s rights.

15. Non-Solicitation

15.1 Other than with Go People’s prior written consent, the Sender will not hire Go People’s Person for employment or under a contract for services, either directly or indirectly (including by a related body corporate or through a recruitment or staffing agency). For the purposes of this clause “Go People’s Person” means any person who is either an employee or contractor of Go People, either during or for a period of 360 days after termination of, this Agreement or for 360 days after that person’s employment or engagement with Go People is terminated.

15.2 The Sender must promptly notify Go People if a Go People’s Person seeks to be employed or contracted by the Sender (or a related body corporate).

15.4 The Sender acknowledges and agrees that this provision is reasonable having regard to Go People’s need to protect its intellectual capital and confidential information. Without limiting Go People’s right to compensation under clause 15.3, the Sender acknowledges that Go People may seek interlocutory relief to prohibit or restrain the Sender from any breach or threatened breach of this clause.

15.5 A breach of this clause is deemed a material breach of the Agreement for the purposes of termination.
