Users bear financial and legal responsibility for defending and compensating Datadog and a broad set of affiliated parties against claims and losses, with no monetary cap stated in this clause.
Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'losses'; the full clause likely specifies the circumstances or nexus required to trigger the indemnification obligation (e.g., arising from the user's use of the Site). Without that language, the canonical claim states only what is explicitly present, and the triggering conditions are recorded in omitted_material.
Users are required to bear the cost of defending and indemnifying Datadog and its affiliated personnel against any and all claims, damages, obligations, and losses.
