(a) procure for you the right or License to use the Service free of the infringement claim; or (b) replace or modify the Service to make it non-infringing; or (c) terminate that part of the Service which relates to the infringement (or potential infringement) and return any Charges paid by you for that part of the Service in full and final settlement of any claims in respect thereof; or (d) if none of these options is reasonably practicable, terminate these Terms and return any Charges paid by you for the affected Service in full and final settlement.
