Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless MEETYOO for any third party claims in connection with this provision. MEETYOO and, if applicable, its subcontractors shall be entitled, but not obliged, to the extent permissible, to defend the asserted claims at their expense.

3. Provisions 9, 11, 13 – 21, and those provisions which by their nature are meant to survive shall survive the termination or expiration of these GTC. 

§ 18 Assignment

These GTC may not be assigned by either party without the written consent of the other.
