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.

Any and all disputes, controversy or claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the breach thereof, including any question regarding its existence, validity, performance, or termination and any tort or other common law or statutory claim arising out of or relating to its negotiation, execution, or performance (collectively, the “Dispute”), will be first subject to non-binding mediation in an effort to resolve any such Dispute by participating in a structured negotiation conference with a mediator under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre. The mediation will be held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The parties agree to use best efforts to conduct any dispute resolution procedures herein as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. All aspects of the mediation will be treated as confidential. The costs of the mediator will be paid by Umso and Umso will appoint the mediator.
