Common use of Lien Indemnification Clause in Contracts

Lien Indemnification. The Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Indemnitees from and against any Liabilities (including civil, criminal and administrative Liabilities) and all expenses incidental thereto including court costs and legal fees on a solicitor and own client indemnity basis, based upon or arising out of or in connection with all Liens or Lien claims made, recorded, asserted or filed on the Work or any property on which it is being performed, on account of any labour performed or materials furnished by the Contractor, Subcontractors or any other Person in connection with the Work to the extent that the Owner has made payment to the Contractor therefor except to the extent such Liens are attributable to the willful misconduct of the Owner and exclusive of Liens by fault of the Owner. No amount of insurance maintained by the Contractor limits the Contractor’s indemnification obligations. In any and all claims, damages, losses or expenses incurred by any employee of the Contractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them this indemnification obligation shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Contractor or any Subcontractor under worker’s compensation acts, disability acts or other employment benefit acts.
