matter from which appeal rights could arise.
12.5 No Settlement Without Consent. TECHNICIAN will not enter into any settlement or compromise of a claim
without first obtaining the Indemnitees’ prior written consent.
12.6 Indemnification in Addition to Insurance. The presence or absence and/or applicability or non-applicability
of the INDEPENDENT TECHNICIAN’s insurance coverage does not in any way limit the TECHNICIAN’s obligation
to indemnify, defend, and hold the Indemnitees harmless pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.
12.7 Conflicts of Interest. If counsel retained by the TECHNICIAN has a conflict of interest or such conflict of
interest arises in connection with a third-party claim, Indemnitees shall be entitled to retain separate counsel, at
TECHNICIAN’s expense, to defend Indemnitees. TECHNICIAN shall not seek to disqualify counsel due to an
alleged conflict of interest where a single counsel represents multiple Indemnitees in connection with a third-party
claim, and TECHNICIAN hereby waives any alleged conflict of interest allegations relating to same.

provided in Ancillary Documents and revised from time to time, and to immediately cease any use that HEAVE
determines to nonconforming or otherwise unacceptable.

the HEAVE Marks as a trademark, service mark, trade name or trade dress, other than as expressly approved by

service marks, trade names or trade dress, or use the HEAVE Marks other than in accordance with the terms,
conditions and restrictions herein; (3) take any other action that would jeopardize or impair HEAVE’s rights as
owner of the HEAVE Marks or the legality and/or enforceability of the HEAVE Marks, including, challenging or
opposing HEAVE’s ownership in the HEAVE Marks; (4) apply for trademark registration or renewal of trademark
registration of any of the HEAVE Marks, any derivative of the HEAVE Marks, any combination of the HEAVE Marks
and any other name, or any trademark, service mark, trade name, symbol or word which is similar to the HEAVE
Marks; (5) use the HEAVE Marks on or in connection with any product, service or activity that is in violation of any

discretion, a takedown request sent to the appropriate ISP, or social media platform, and/or a Uniform Domain-
Name Dispute-Resolution Policy Proceeding (or equivalent proceeding). If you create any materials (physical or
digital) bearing the HEAVE Marks (in violation of this Agreement or otherwise), the technician agrees that upon their
creation HEAVE exclusively owns all right, title and interest in and to such materials, including any modifications to
