You agree to defend and indemnify ASISTA and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents from and against every third-party claim, liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to, use of, or alleged use of, the Services; (b) your violation of any portion of these Terms of Service, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms of Service, or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (d) any dispute or issue between you and any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of that claim. The assumption of such defense or control by us, however, shall not excuse any of your indemnity obligations.

21.2 Our Indemnification of you. We will defend you against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against you by a third party alleging that your use of the Services in accordance with these Terms of Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, and will indemnify you from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against you as a result of such a claim against you, or for amounts paid by you under a settlement approved by us in writing of such a claim, provided you (a) promptly give us written notice of such a claim, (b) give us sole control of the defense and settlement of such a claim, except that we may not choose to settle any such claim unless it unconditionally releases you of all liability, and (c) give us all reasonable assistance, at our expense.

If we receive information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Services, we may choose, in our discretion and at no cost to you, to (a) modify the Services so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates, (b) obtain a license to allow for your continued use of the Services in accordance with these Terms of Service, or (c) if options (a) or (b) are not commercially and reasonably practicable as determined by us, terminate your subscription to the Service and repay you, on a pro-rated basis, any Subscription Charges you have previously paid us for the corresponding unused portion of the Subscription Term.
