7 Indemnification
Both Parties agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party and its directors, officers and employees from and against any demands, damages, or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from a third-party claim that the indemnifying Party caused bodily injury (including death) or damaged real or tangible personal property.
8 Limitation of Liability
ADI does not accept responsibility for anyone acting as a result of information in, or views expressed on, its training courses including course materials.
