What is a Hold Harmless Agreement?

A Hold Harmless Agreement is a legal contract that states that one or both signers will not hold the other party responsible for injuries or damage. A Hold Harmless clause can be one-way ("unilateral") or two-way ("reciprocal"). Whether signed before or after an activity takes place, this document can lower the risk of future disagreements.

When can you use a Hold Harmless Agreement?​​​​​​​

• You are allowing someone to use your property or facility and you want to be protected against damages and liabilities caused by the other party.
• A person or company will be performing services for you and you want to be protected from liability if a third party is harmed.
• You want to protect someone from being sued by others because of your activities.
