Home / Guides / Indemnification Explained: Who Covers What

Introduction

Indemnification is a common contract clause that sets out who covers losses caused by whom. Section 16 keeps it simple: each Party covers the other for losses their own conduct causes.

Key Points

  • Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from claims, losses, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees.
  • This applies when those claims arise from that Party's material breach of the agreement, negligence, or violation of applicable law.
  • It's mutual — it applies to both Starkworth and you as an Account Owner.
  • It works alongside, not instead of, the liability cap in Section 15.
