An Office Lease Agreement Indemnification Article is a office lease agreement that stipulates the responsibilities of one party to compensate the other against certain liabilities or losses.

  • Context:
    • It can (typically) shield or indemnify the landlord from losses that may occur during the lease's tenure.
    • It can (typically) coexist with clauses related to promises to defend or holding one party harmless.
    • It can particularly pinpoint situations like personal injuries, property damages, or other potential liabilities on the leased premises.
  • Example(s):
    • A situation where a tenant assumes responsibility for maintaining common areas, such as snow removal, and indemnifies the landlord from any liability if someone slips due to unremoved snow.
  • Counter-Example(s):
    • A general liability clause that doesn't specify who bears responsibility in particular situations.
    • An insurance clause that only details the types and amounts of insurance the tenant and landlord must maintain.
