6.3 The Indemnity set out above shall not apply in relation to any infringement which (i) results from the use of the Software in combination with other equipment not supplied by Luware; (ii) is due to a modification made to the Software by Customer not authorized by Luware in writing; or (iii) which is due to a failure of Customer to abide to the Documentation or this EULA.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Product and all other information related thereto or disclosed or delivered to it in connection with this EULA (“Luware Information”) are Luware and its licensors’ confidential and proprietary information.
