Defending Party Clause Samples
The 'defending-party' clause designates which party in a contract is responsible for defending against certain claims, lawsuits, or legal actions that may arise in connection with the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the obligations of the defending party, such as providing legal representation, covering defense costs, and managing the defense process if a third party brings a claim related to the contract's subject matter. Its core practical function is to allocate responsibility for legal defense, thereby clarifying which party must respond to and manage potential legal disputes, and reducing uncertainty or conflict over who bears these obligations.
