EDIT
Reject clauses that do not include gross negligence carve-outs.
ADD
Add language for clear indemnification triggers if absent.
PRO TIP
Always ensure liability caps do not apply to gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Balanced Liability Clause
"The liability of each party shall be capped at the total contract value, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct."
NEUTRAL
Standard Indemnification Clause
"Each party agrees to indemnify the other for third-party claims arising from breaches of this agreement."
UNFAVORABLE
Uncapped Liability
"The contractor shall be liable for all damages without limitation."
Alternative scenarios & positions
In high-risk projects, ensure liability caps are proportionate to the potential risk and include specific carve-outs for negligence.
Data Breach Incidents
For data breach incidents, indemnification should cover all associated costs, including legal fees and penalties.
Cross-Border Transactions
In cross-border transactions, consider jurisdictional differences in liability and indemnification laws.
