ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Customer bears the financial and legal burden of third-party intellectual property claims that are connected to Customer Data, shielding Modal from that exposure.

Interpretive note: The excerpt's reference to 'alleged infringement ... related to Customer Data' is not fully quoted in the provided text; the ellipsis obscures the precise scope of covered infringement types. Confidence is medium because the full triggering condition is not visible.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If a third party brings an infringement claim related to your Customer Data against Modal or its affiliates, suppliers, or licensors, you are required to defend them and cover resulting costs.
