This indemnification obligation means users bear financial responsibility for defending Oura and covering any resulting liability arising from their own use of the Services.
Interpretive note: The excerpt lists at least one additional independent trigger for indemnification — breach — which was not stated in the canonical claim. It is recorded here as omitted material.
The updated Terms of Service now explicitly state that US users are subject to mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions contained in Section XVI. This means disputes with Oura must be resolved through individual arbitration rather than in court or as part of a class action lawsuit. The terms also clarify that US residents contract with Ouraring Inc., while non-US residents contract with Oura Health Oy. The definition of Services has been expanded to explicitly include Oura memberships and related content and features. You can review Section XVI of the updated Terms to understand the full scope of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver.
