You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Architect Store and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all third-party claims, actions, demands, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to:

2. Mutual Hold-Harmless
The Architect Store agrees to hold you harmless from claims directly caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct, subject to the limitation of liability caps set forth in the applicable Terms of Service or Consulting Agreement.
3. Indemnification Procedure
Upon becoming aware of any claim subject to indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall:
- Promptly notify You in writing of the claim;
- Grant You reasonable control over the defense and settlement of the claim (provided You do not settle any claim that imposes liability or obligation on the Indemnified Parties without prior written consent);
- Provide reasonable cooperation and assistance in the defense.
4. Survival
Your indemnification obligations under this Policy shall survive termination or expiration of any agreement between you and The Architect Store and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of the reason for termination.

[COUNSEL NOTE: Review mutual hold-harmless scope, confirm indemnification procedure aligns with Florida civil procedure, and assess enforceability of broad third-party claim coverage under applicable tort law.]
