Ohio Indemnification Provisions are contractual clauses that outline the rights and obligations of parties involved in an agreement regarding the indemnification of one party by another in the state of Ohio. These provisions aim to allocate risks and protect parties from potential liabilities and losses arising from legal claims, damages, or expenses. In Ohio, there are primarily three types of indemnification provisions: 1. Broad Indemnification Provisions: These provisions offer the most comprehensive protection to the indemnity (the party being indemnified) and typically require the indemnity (the party providing indemnity) to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnity for any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, regardless of the indemnity's fault. 2. Limited Indemnification Provisions: These provisions place restrictions and limitations on the extent of indemnification provided by the indemnity. They often specify certain exclusions, such as claims resulting from the indemnity's own negligence or intentional misconduct. Limited indemnification provisions may also impose a cap on the indemnity's liability. 3. Comparative Fault Indemnification Provisions: Unique to Ohio, these provisions apply the concept of comparative fault to indemnification. Comparative fault allows the allocation of liability between parties based on the percentage of fault attributed to each party. In this scenario, the indemnity's obligation to indemnify the indemnity is reduced or eliminated in proportion to the indemnity's degree of fault. It is important to carefully consider the language and scope of Ohio Indemnification Provisions in any contractual agreement to ensure that the rights and obligations of each party are clearly defined and that the indemnification provided is in line with the specific needs and risks involved. Seeking legal counsel is advisable to draft or review these provisions accurately.
