Common use of Responsibility of Principal Clause in Contracts

Responsibility of Principal. The creation of any subcontract relationship shall not relieve the hiring Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The hiring Party shall be fully responsible to the other Party for the acts or omissions of any subcontractor the hiring Party hires as if no subcontract had been made; provided, however, that in no event shall IPA be liable for the actions or inactions of Interconnection Customer or its subcontractors with respect to obligations of Interconnection Customer under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. Additionally, IPA shall not be liable for any of the acts or omissions of the Operating Agent, the Intermountain Power Service Corporation, or any of their respective boards, owners, members, directors, officers, agents, representatives or employees for which IPA is entitled to indemnification under Article 18 of this Agreement. Any applicable obligation imposed by this Agreement upon the hiring Party shall be equally binding upon, and shall be construed as having application to, any subcontractor of such Party.
