  1. obtaining the right from the appropriate third party in order for Customer to continue using the Software, the SaaS platform and the Documentation materially as intended in and for the Term of this Agreement;
  2. modifying or replacing the Software, the SaaS platform and the Documentation to the extent that it becomes non-infringing while still providing the materially equivalent features and functionalities of the delivered Software and SaaS platform; or
