DOCTOR shall hold the Program and Fernandez Discipline, LLC harmless from all actions resulting from violation of any law and indemnify it for any damages including its attorney fees and costs, incurred as a result of use of any portion of the Program that is not in compliance with any portion of the DOCTOR’S state and/or federal law or any other act by DOCTOR, including any failure to ensure the use of copyrights under Paragraph Three (3).
