Description

The indemnity is the most negotiated yet least understood clause in contracts about software and cloud computing. This seminar will explore the key issues in indemnities about data breach, IP, and other topics. It will focus in particular on "the cause problem": the little-known issues raised by indemnities triggered by the indemnitor's wrongdoing or other actions. And it will explore the other tricks and traps lurking in indemnity clauses.
