Indemnification clauses are common in commercial contracts. But, what are they?
Put simply, an indemnification clause is a promise by one party to pay for the losses of another if the offending party causes the other harm.
So, let’s say I’m selling your product and I want you, as the vendor, to indemnify me if a customer names me in a lawsuit (barring my own gross negligence or misrepresentation of the product to the customer). In this context, an indemnification clause makes it clear that you will be held accountable and take the responsibility should a third party sue me.
Indemnity brings in another concept called defense. Which means that not only are you held liable for damages in a potential lawsuit, but you also have to pay for the lawyer to defend me in said lawsuit and you would hold me harmless – meaning you won’t come after me for this issue.
Indemnification clauses are a more fulsome, clearer representation of a shifting of risk than relying on negligence or general breach of contract.

In the context of mergers and acquisitions, indemnity clauses encapsulate the extent of liability a seller will assume post-closing based on the representations and warranties they present to the buyer. So, it’s especially important that sellers of a business carefully consider several factors about the scope of indemnification and how those representations are conveyed to a buyer in the purchase agreement.
Fundamentally, indemnification is a guarantee of compensation for losses or damages incurred by the buyer of a business due to circumstances unforeseen at the time of closing. It’s a way to share risk between buyer and seller.
If you’re selling a business and take only a few nuggets of wisdom away from this video, my tips regarding indemnification are:
1. Maximize the deductible
2. Minimize your cap
3. Shorten the survivability of indemnity (to the extent that you can)
4. Carefully consider representations and warranties made to the buyer
Now, if you’re unclear on any of those four tips, watch the video! If you still have questions, feel free to reach out. Leave a comment or contact me.
