Liability of Agents Clause Samples
The "Liability of Agents" clause defines the extent to which agents acting on behalf of a party are responsible for their actions under the agreement. Typically, this clause clarifies whether agents can be held personally liable for breaches, negligence, or misconduct, or if liability rests solely with the principal party. For example, it may state that agents are not personally liable unless they act outside their authority or engage in willful misconduct. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk and responsibility between principals and their agents, providing clarity and protecting agents from undue personal liability in the course of their authorized duties.
