If your use of Walmart.com causes Walmart to face a lawsuit or other costs, you have to pay for Walmart's legal fees and any losses — even if the problem was caused by someone else who accessed your account.
If someone else uses your Walmart account — even without your knowledge — and causes harm that results in litigation, you could be held financially responsible for Walmart's attorneys' fees and damages, creating unexpected financial risk for consumers.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Consumer indemnification clauses are evaluated under FTC Act Section 5 for unfairness and under state unconscionability doctrines (Restatement (Second) of Contracts §208). California Civil Code §1668 voids contracts that exempt parties from responsibility for their own fraud or willful injury, which may limit the scope of this clause. The clause's extension to third-party access adds complexity under state identity theft and unauthorized access statutes.
