The user responsible for the content shall not be able to raise a plea of insufficient legal defense.

The user further undertakes to inform Mindbreeze immediately and in full, in the event that claims are brought against him, either in court or out of court, as a result of his use of the contractual services and will offer Mindbreeze the opportunity to become involved or to intervene in support of the user (at Mindbreeze's discretion).
