ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The indemnification obligation is broad — covering all losses and claims from any access or use of the Service — and extends to a wide range of Duolingo-affiliated individuals and entities.

Interpretive note: The excerpt contains ellipses after 'losses, claims'; additional categories of covered harm (e.g., damages, costs, attorneys' fees) may be present in the full clause but are not confirmed by the excerpt provided.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users bear the obligation to defend and financially indemnify Duolingo and a broad set of affiliated persons against any and all losses and claims connected to the user's access or use of the Service.
