The Service User shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Provider, its partners, directors, officers, employees, instructors, agents, representatives, affiliates, appointees, invitees, and all their successors, heirs and assigns (collectively “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all claims, suits, actions, demands, judgments (including all legal fees and expenses incurred in association with any and all claims, suits, actions, demands and judgments or any of them, on a full indemnity basis as between a solicitor and his or her own clients), liabilities, damages, losses or expenses incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, arising out of or relating to the use of the Services by the Service User, howsoever the same may arise. The Service User agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to provide legal counsel acceptable to the Provider to defend any actions commenced against any of the Indemnified Parties hereunder with respect to the matters indemnified by the Service User, whether or not rightfully brought. The Service User agrees that the Services are provided by the Provider on a “without any liability” basis and that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability to the Service User (including liability to any person whose claim or cause is based on or derived from rights claimed or owned by the Service User) with respect to any claim arising out of or relating to the use of the Services by the Service User, howsoever the same may arise, whether in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of any duty), statute, case law, equity or any other legal theory or grounds.

The Service User now and forever releases the Releasees (and each of them) from any and all liabilities arising out of or relating to the use of the Services. The Releasees (and each of them) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Service User (including anyone claiming under the Service User). The Service User acknowledges, covenants, undertakes and agrees that this limitation of liability is reasonable in the circumstances, and that this limitation of liability is a most fundamental consideration for the Provider in deciding whether to make the Services available to the Service User, and that in the absence of this limitation of liability, the Provider would not have offered the Services to the Service User.

In the event of any dispute relating to or arising out of these provisions, I attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Michigan.
In proceeding to make payment and to access the Services, I (being the Service User) acknowledge, covenant, undertake and agree that I have fully read the above provisions and that I am in full agreement for the purpose of being bound fully and legally. I am proceeding voluntarily and with the understanding and knowledge that I am entering into a legally binding and fully enforceable agreement. I acknowledge and understand that the Provider is relying on all of the above provisions in deciding to grant me access to the Services.
