Indemnification Clauses
Indemnification clauses are provisions in contracts that protect one party from financial loss caused by the actions or negligence of another party. Essentially, if one party gets into trouble—like facing legal claims or having to pay damages—the indemnification clause requires the other party to cover those costs. This helps ensure that the responsible party takes on the risk, while the other party is shielded financially. It’s commonly found in agreements related to business partnerships, leases, and service contracts, safeguarding interests and clarifying who bears the financial burden in various situations.
