You will indemnify and hold harmless us and our affiliates and our and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each an Indemnified Party), from any claim made by any third party, together with any amounts payable to the third party whether in settlement or as may otherwise be awarded, and reasonable legal costs incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties, arising from or relating to your use of the Services, any alleged violation by you of the applicable terms, and any alleged violation by you of any applicable law or regulation.  We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you but doing so will not excuse your indemnity obligations.

 

13. Release

If you have a dispute with one or more of our users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
