That's not bad. That's good, and completely normal. You'll see a clause like this in every Terms of Service agreement out there (and if you don't, somebody's done something wrong).
All this says is that if *you* do something illegal, or that harms someone else, while you happen to be using IFTTT or developing recipes using IFTTT, and that other person sues IFTTT (maybe because they can't find you, or don't know who you are, or just don't know how the internet works), then you agree to step up and defend IFTTT. That's reasonable, right? Let's say Bob is a total stalker and writes an IFTTT recipe to check Twitter for every mention of some actress's name, and every time she's mentioned it posts a super creepy harassing tweet to her, so she's just spammed with nastiness. She complains to Twitter, and Twitter tells her they're coming from IFTTT, so she sues IFTTT to make them stop. Well, IFTTT shouldn't be on the hook for that lawsuit, obviously. Bob should. Bob's the creepy psycho misusing the service. And that's good, because without clauses like that, new little companies couldn't exist...they'd drown in legal fees every time some idiot user did something stupid with their service.
