Connecticut Indemnification of Buyer and Seller of Business is a legal provision that aims to protect both the buyer and the seller during the transfer of a business. This provision assigns the responsibility of any potential risks, liabilities, or losses arising from the business to the appropriate party. In Connecticut, there are different types of indemnification clauses that can be included in a business sale agreement. These may include: 1. General Indemnification Clause: This clause ensures that the seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the buyer from any claims, liabilities, or losses arising from the business before the sale is complete. It provides the buyer with some level of protection, especially from undisclosed risks or potential legal disputes. 2. Specific Indemnification Clause: This type of clause focuses on specific risks or liabilities that may arise from particular aspects of the business. For example, if the seller knows of pending litigation against the business, they may agree to indemnify the buyer from any potential losses related to that litigation during the specified duration. 3. Environmental Indemnification Clause: This clause pertains to potential environmental risks and liabilities associated with the business. It is often included when the business operates in industries that may have environmental implications, such as manufacturing plants or chemical businesses. The clause ensures that the party responsible for the contamination or violations will indemnify the other party. 4. Tax Indemnification Clause: This provision addresses any potential tax liabilities that may arise after the sale of the business. It specifies which party is responsible for any outstanding taxes, penalties, or audits related to the business prior to the sale. The indemnifying party agrees to reimburse the harmed party for any costs incurred. It is important to carefully draft and negotiate these indemnification clauses to ensure that the potential risks and liabilities associated with the business are adequately addressed. Experienced legal counsel should be consulted to ensure the agreement reflects the best interests of both the buyer and the seller.
