The Legal Protection Clause Every Creator Contract Needs



Many sponsorship contracts have language such as:
"[You] will indemnify and hold harmless [Client] against all liability to third parties arising from or in connection with [Your] material uncured breach of this agreement."
Why is the brand the only one who gets to be protected?

It's perfectly reasonable to request this to read instead,
"Each Party will indemnify and hold harmless the Other Party against all liability to third parties…"
Similarly, having language limiting your liability is paramount in the event of legal action:
"The combined, aggregate liability hereunder shall not exceed the compensation payable to [You] under this Agreement."
