This indemnification obligation allocates legal and financial risk to the customer for third-party claims connected to the customer's account activities, content, or contractual violations. The provision establishes the customer's responsibility to cover AWS's defense costs and damages across a broad range of claim categories.
Under this clause, the customer assumes the obligation to pay for AWS's legal defense and any resulting damages or settlements for third-party claims related to the customer's service use, content, or end-user disputes. This obligation applies regardless of whether the customer is found legally liable, as the indemnification requirement is independent of fault determination.
