Service Level Agreement (SLA)

An SLA establishes measurable service performance standards between provider and customer. This playbook explains methods to draft enforceable metrics, remedies for non-performance, and escalation procedures.

Indemnification Provisions

Why This Matters: Inadequate indemnity terms expose parties to significant legal costs and judgments. Detailed provisions reduce ambiguity and speed up defense and recovery.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure the indemnification clause covers all potential liabilities, including IP infringement and data breaches. Negotiate for reciprocal indemnities to protect against third-party claims.

If you're the Contractor:

Limit the scope of indemnity to direct damages and reasonable costs. Seek to include caps on liability and ensure clear procedures for notification and defense control.
