FAQ
What Is an Indemnification Clause? An indemnification clause is a legally binding agreement between two parties specifying that one party (the indemnifying party) will compensate the other party (the indemnified party) for any losses or damages that may arise from a particular event or circumstance.
The fundamental components of a contract of indemnity which include the presence of a loss, a definite promise of compensation and explicit terms protect the understanding of rights and obligations for both parties involved.
Thus, it is critical for every contractor to understand the meaning of indemnification before executing a contract. An indemnification provision is a contractual provision under which one party (the indemnitor) agrees to assume liability for the losses incurred by another party (the indemnitee).
“The elements of a cause of action for indemnity are (1) a showing of fault on the part of the indemnitor and (2) resulting damages to the indemnitee for which the indemnitor is contractually or equitably responsible.” Expressions, supra, 86 Cal. App.
Essentials and rights in the contract of indemnity For the contract of indemnity to take place, the essentials must be that there must be two parties and an arrangement between them in which the promisor agrees to protect the promisee against any loss.
The intent of California's new anti-indemnity law is to “ensure that every construction business in the state is responsible for losses that it, as a business, may cause.” It applies to most construction contracts, and the parties cannot opt out of these provisions by using a non-California choice of law provision in ...
An agreement to indemnify a person against an act already done, is valid, even though the act was known to be wrongful, unless it was a felony. 2775. An agreement to indemnify against the acts of a certain person, applies not only to his acts and their consequences, but also to those of his agents.
For example, a contract between a general contractor and a subcontractor may include an express indemnification provision whereby the subcontractor agrees to hold harmless the general contractor for all claims arising out of the contract, regardless of who is at fault.
