Hold harmless

A hold harmless clause is a contract provision under which one party agrees to protect the other against liability for certain defined types of claims.

Sample clause

 * “Each party shall save the other harmless from and against and shall indemnify the other for any liability, loss, costs, expenses, or damages howsoever caused by reason of any injury (whether to body, property, or personal or business character or reputation) sustained by any person or to any person or to property by reason of any act, neglect, default, or omission of it or any of its agents, employees, or other representatives, and it shall pay all sums to be paid or discharged in case of an action or any such damages or injuries. Nothing herein is intended to nor shall it relieve either party from liability for its own act, omission, or negligence.”
