Clauses limiting liability for non-direct damages are common in contracts to protect parties from unforeseen claims. For resource suppliers, such clauses can limit recovery of certain losses, which may be concerning if they rely heavily on contract performance. Alternatives include setting a liability cap, mutual indemnification, and performance guarantees to balance interests. A sample clause can incorporate these options, ensuring both parties are protected and risks are balanced.Full Conversation
