FAQ
The concept of indemnification is not complicated—indemnification is an agreement to assume a specific liability, potential or actual, of another party in the event of a loss. It involves shifting risk from one party to another—essentially as insurance.
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.
An indemnity is an enforceable agreement by a party to compensate another party for loss, damage or expense.
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.
An indemnity clause provides protection to a specified party of the construction contract against damages and exempts them from liability caused by their own actions. In simple terms, this clause holds one party harmless for the losses of another.
Clause 83.1 of the NEC3 contained a reciprocal indemnity whereby: “Each party indemnifies the other against claims, proceedings, compensation and costs due to an event which is at his risk.” The problem was that Contractor's risks were very widely defined as all “risks which are not carried by the Employer”.
Indemnity agreements, also known as indemnity clauses, play an integral role in contracts. That's because they are designed to punish the nonperforming party and reassure the damaged one they will be reimbursed for losses caused by the errant entity.
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.
Typical examples of indemnity insurance include professional insurance policies like malpractice insurance and errors and omissions insurance (E&O). These special insurance policies indemnify or reimburse professionals against claims made as they conduct their business.
