7. Additional Indemnification. In addition to Customer’s indemnification obligations set forth in the Terms, Customer shall indemnify and defend Avalara against any Losses arising from a third-party claim that results from Customer’s use of the Service for a Client (except for third-party claims for Infringement or arising solely from Avalara’s breach of the Agreement or Applicable Law).
