Indemnity by IBM Clause Samples
The "Indemnity by IBM" clause requires IBM to protect the other party from certain legal claims or losses, typically arising from third-party allegations such as intellectual property infringement related to IBM's products or services. In practice, this means that if a third party sues the customer for using IBM's offerings, IBM will cover the costs of defense and any resulting damages, subject to specified conditions and limitations. This clause's core function is to allocate risk by ensuring that the customer is not financially liable for specific legal issues that are within IBM's control, thereby providing reassurance and reducing potential legal exposure for the customer.
