You agree to indemnify and hold us and our employees harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal and other related fees and expenses) to which we may become subject arising from or in connection with the Services or matters which are the subject of this Agreement; provided, however, that you shall not be liable under this sentence in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which was the result of our gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

All information shall be sent to your address as above written or such other address as you may advise us in writing, or orally confirmed in writing.
