Warranty Service Agreement

A Warranty Service Agreement details how defects, repairs, and replacements are handled during a product’s warranty period. This playbook emphasizes negotiating fair remedies, service levels, and liability limitations that align with operational realities.

Indemnification & Liability

Why This Matters: Broad indemnities and unlimited liability expose the client to disproportionate financial risk and can deter effective risk management.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Customer:

Negotiate for mutual indemnities that cover breaches and third-party claims. Ensure liability caps are reasonable and exclusions are clearly defined to protect the company's interests.

If you're the Manufacturer:

Aim to limit indemnification to direct damages and negotiate for a liability cap that aligns with the contractor's risk tolerance. Exclude consequential damages where possible.

Essential elements

1

Indemnification Scope

Defines covered claims and breaches.
2

Action framework

ACCEPT

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, consider increasing liability caps and expanding indemnification to cover additional risks.

International Contracts

Adjust indemnification terms to comply with jurisdiction-specific legal requirements and ensure mutual understanding.

Small-Scale Agreements

For smaller agreements, simplify indemnification terms and set lower liability caps to reflect reduced risk.
