You acknowledge that the EDRLab Parties have no obligation to monitor any Content accessible through the Application. However, you acknowledge that the EDRLab Parties have the right to monitor the use of the Application, at its sole discretion, and to disclose any information necessary to comply with any law, regulation or government request, in order to be able to operate the Application adequately or in order to protect itself or its users under the “Privacy Policy”.

Compensation

You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the EDRLab Parties from and against any and all claims, actions or proceedings of any nature whatsoever and all damages, judgments, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including those incurred to enforce this provision), arising out of your use of the Application, the Content, any actual or alleged breach by you of these Terms of Use, or any violation by you of any applicable law or the rights of any other person or entity.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The Terms of Use shall be construed to the greatest extent possible so as to give the closest possible effect to the invalid provision, within the bounds of legality.

Absence of Waiver

The fact that EDRLab does not require the execution of any part of these terms of use does not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder for past or future actions on the part of anyone.
