ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Customers bear financial and legal responsibility for third-party claims that result from how they use the Services, which can include litigation costs.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses '(i)' indicating this is only the first of multiple triggering events for the indemnification obligation; the canonical claim covers only the stated trigger. Additional triggers are likely present but not quoted.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If a third party makes a claim against Perplexity AI related to how you used the Services, you are required to defend Perplexity AI and cover resulting costs including reasonable attorneys' fees.
