The Customer's indemnification obligation is broad, covering any claim arising from Customer Data or unlawful use of the services, meaning that if a third party sues Amplitude because of data you sent to the platform, you bear the cost of defending that claim.
Interpretive note: The scope of Customer's indemnification for 'Customer Data' is broad and could extend to regulatory claims or third-party privacy claims arising from the Customer's own data collection practices, though the precise boundaries depend on interpretation of 'arising out of or related to Customer Data'.
Businesses that send unlawfully collected data to Amplitude, or that use the platform in violation of the agreement or applicable law, could be required to defend and pay for legal claims brought against Amplitude as a result. This places significant responsibility on the Customer to ensure its data collection practices and use of the platform are lawful.
