Unless otherwise specified in the SOW or contract, upon full payment of all fees, Sanera Technologies assigns or licenses to the Client the rights to the deliverables created specifically for the project. However, Sanera Technologies reserves the right to reuse or incorporate general know-how, methodologies, and templates in future projects.

The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sanera Technologies, its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of the Client’s breach of these Terms or the use of the deliverables, except insofar as such claims, damages, or liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sanera Technologies.

8.2 By Sanera Technologies
Sanera Technologies agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Client from any third-party claims alleging that the deliverables, as provided, infringe on a third party’s intellectual property rights, provided the deliverables have been used in accordance with these Terms and any applicable SOW. This indemnification obligation does not extend to modifications made by the Client or third parties or to any third-party components integrated into the deliverables, unless specifically stated.
