Both you and the Company agree to notify the other side of any legal claims for which you might have to indemnify the Company as soon as possible. If the Company fails to notify you of a legal claim promptly, you won’t have to indemnify the Company for damages that you could have defended against or mitigated with prompt notice. You agree to allow the Company to control the investigation, defence, and settlement of legal claims for which you would have to indemnify the Company and cooperate with those efforts. The Company agrees not to agree to any settlement that admits fault for you or imposes obligations on you without your prior agreement.

10.1. The Forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services run by others. The Company does not make any warranty about services run by others or content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be governed by other terms between you and the one running said service.
