Sponsorship Agreement
A Sponsorship Agreement outlines the terms under which one party provides funding or support for promotional exposure. This playbook details exclusivity, deliverables, and termination for reputational risk.
Indemnification & Liability
Negotiation strategy
Ensure indemnification covers third-party claims related to intellectual property infringement and legal violations. Confirm liability cap excludes gross negligence, willful misconduct, and confidentiality breaches.
Negotiate to limit indemnification obligations to areas within the Agency's control. Advocate for reasonable liability caps to protect against disproportionate financial exposure.
Essential elements
1
Indemnification Triggers
Defines when indemnification applies.
2
Liability Cap
Limits total financial exposure.
3
Exceptions to Liability

Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits when indemnification scope is too broad or liability caps are unreasonably low.
EDIT

ADD

PRO TIP
Always align indemnification and liability terms with the client's risk management strategy.

NEUTRAL
Liability Cap Clause
"Except for liabilities arising from the Agency's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of confidentiality obligations, the total liability of the Agency to the Client for any and all claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client to the Agency under this Agreement during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim."
