Acorns
· Acorns Terms of Service

The indemnification clause establishes a cost-shifting mechanism that allocates to users the financial responsibility for defending Nintendo against third-party claims connected to user conduct or content on the platform.

This clause means you could be personally responsible for Asana's legal fees and damages if something you do on the platform results in a lawsuit or claim against the company.
