Github however should indemnify the organization from any responsibility where content which has been modified ?

Not sure I understand the sentence you grant GitHub the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution.
Should it be intended as:
- you grant github the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution [as necessary to render the website and provide the Service] AND
- you grant github the rights we need to make reasonable adaptations to Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service
or
- you grant github the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution [for anything we want] AND
- you grant github the rights we need to make reasonable adaptations to Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service
?

In such case github should inform/intimate organization about disclose of contents along with detailed reasoning.

That might require a warrant canary in the case of demands for disclosure that include gag orders.

The letter of the heading for the Payment section should be changed from K to L.
