What is Indemnification?
Risk: High. One of the most important clauses to review carefully.
Definition
A requirement that one party compensate the other for losses, damages, or legal costs. One-sided indemnification clauses can require you to pay a company's legal fees even if they caused the harm. Mutual indemnification applies equally to both parties.
