HARMLESS PROVISIONS Clause Samples
A harmless provisions clause, often referred to as a "hold harmless" clause, is designed to protect one party from legal liability for certain actions, damages, or claims that may arise during the course of an agreement. In practice, this clause typically requires one party to assume responsibility for any losses or legal actions that result from their own actions or negligence, and to indemnify the other party against such claims. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk between the parties, ensuring that one party is not held financially or legally responsible for issues caused by the other, thereby reducing potential disputes and clarifying liability.

Lessee hereby releases and holds harmless lessor from injuries or damages incurred as a result of the use of said equipment unless lessor is operating the equipment and is deemed by a court of law to be negligent in its actions. Lessor cannot under any circumstances be held liable for injuries as a result of acts of God, nature, or other conditions beyond its control or knowledge. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless lessor from any loss, damage, theft, or destruction of the equipment during the term of the contract and any extension thereof.
