9.2 Termination of Repeat Infringer Accounts. LawGro respects the intellectual property rights of others and requests that You do the same.

The provisions of this Section state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of LawGro to You and constitute Your sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of the Service by You, Team Members or Clients.

12.2 You will indemnify and hold LawGro harmless against any claim brought by a third party against LawGro arising from or related to use of the Service by You, Team Members or Clients in breach of these Terms or matters which You have expressly agreed to be responsible pursuant to these Terms; provided that We promptly notifies You of the threat or notice of such a claim.
