ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The indemnification obligation is triggered by the user's ordinary use of the site or any Product, not only by breach, which broadens the scope of the user's financial exposure.

Interpretive note: The clause name references infringement, but the quoted excerpt does not explicitly include it; only breach and use are quoted. The canonical claim is grounded solely in the quoted language.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The reader bears financial responsibility for actual loss, costs, liabilities, and attorneys' fees incurred by Equifax or affiliated persons that result from the reader's breach of the Agreement or their use of the site or any Product.
