OWNER and its representatives shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless FOOT SOLDIERS and its directors, staff, employees, volunteers and/or agents from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, chipped, scratched or damaged staircases and cement from ice removal, claims, suits,  reasonable attorneys' fees and all fines, tickets, or other fees incurred in connection with the provision of the Services) resulting from, arising out of or in connection with FOOT SOLDIERS' access to the Property for the purposes of providing the Services described herein, including injuries to any person present on the Property at any time resulting from the presence of Snow, ice or any other meteorological condition, regardless of whether FOOT SOLDIERS fails to perform the Services contemplated herein in whole or in part, for any reason; however OWNER may be able to receive a service credit for the following types of tickets if FOOT SOLDIERS failed to provide proper services. OWNER is responsible for any court or payment proceedings related to their enrolled Property (s):

 

If OWNER has the Recycling Separation add-on and received a ticket for failing to separate the recycling properly, FOOT SOLDIERS will provide a photo of the recycling on the most recent day(s) Services were performed for the OWNER to aid the OWNER as evidence in court or through the mail or online defense.

OWNER agrees to allow FOOT SOLDIERS' staff members to place a tasteful community plaque five (5) inches high by eighteen (18) inches wide in a reasonably visible area of the front yard to aid workers in identifying OWNER's properties. Clients without signage risk missing a service day due to the possible completion of a neighbor's Property in error.
