Hold Harmless
An agreement where one party assumes liability and agrees not to hold the other party responsible for damages.
Hold harmless clauses (also called harmless agreements) are closely related to indemnification provisions. They can be unilateral (one party protects the other) or mutual (both parties protect each other).
These clauses are common in leases, event contracts, and service agreements where one party's activities could expose the other to liability.
Example
A gym membership includes a hold harmless clause where the member agrees not to sue the gym for injuries sustained during normal use of equipment.
