Contractor Indemnity Clause Revision
Summary
Indemnity clauses in contracts should balance responsibilities, indemnifying each party for negligence or breach. Non-exclusivity allows contractors to pursue other work, provided no conflict of interest arises. Contractors must notify the Trust of potential conflicts, and both parties should discuss and agree on the appropriate course of action. If agreement is not reached, arbitration may be pursued. Contractors should ensure qualifications are current, and project scoping should define terms. Intellectual property rights are typically owned by the Trust, with mutual respect for each partys rights.Full Conversation
can you rewrite this to provide fair protection to the contractor
Certainly! Here's a revised version that aims to provide fair protection to both parties:
"The Contractor shall indemnify the Trust against any actions, claims, suits, and demands arising directly from the Contractor's negligence or breach of contract. The Trust shall indemnify the Contractor against any actions, claims, suits, and demands arising directly from the Trust's negligence or breach of contract."
"The Contractor shall indemnify the Trust against any actions, claims, suits, and demands arising directly from the Contractor's negligence or breach of contract. The Trust shall indemnify the Contractor against any actions, claims, suits, and demands arising directly from the Trust's negligence or breach of contract."
This agreement is for the provision of services on a non-exclusive basis and the Contractor is free to undertake other work provided there is no conflict of interest and in cases where there may be a conflict of interest the Contractor will inform the Trust with a view to reaching agreement on whether the Contractor may carry out the other work or not. If as a result of performing the services the Contractor is approached to develop and/or deliver further work, the Contractor must immediately inform the Trust. The Trust will then discuss with the Contractor what the appropriate course of action will be.

- Non-Exclusivity: Ensure clear terms about other work, specifying notification requirements for potential conflicts of interest.
- Indemnity: Balance responsibilities, indemnifying each party for negligence or breach of contract.
