You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Umso, and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, representatives, agents, successors, and assigns, (collectively, the “Umso Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Claims or Costs, whether direct, incidental, indirect, consequential, or special in nature, including reasonable legal fees, expert witnesses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs, and other expenses (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in the investigation and defense of any claim (as hereinafter defined) based on any claim, demand, proceeding, suit, or action (collectively, “Claims” and each a “Claim”) to which any Umso Indemnified Party may become subject resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any breach of the Agreement by You or the use by You or any of the users of Your User Platform or the Services or any part thereof.
