If ProMusicianService becomes aware that third-party rights are being infringed or criminal law provisions are being violated by this Contract or the recordings that are the subject matter thereof and/or by the material accompanying such recordings, then ProMusicianService is entitled to retain any funds in the customer account until the legal situation and the status of any possible third-party claims have been clarified and resolved.
The customer indemnifies ProMusicianService and its contract partners and employees from all possible third- party claims, as well as against the cost of legal proceedings or defense against third party rights, if these claims are based on the implementation of this contract.
