[Verse 1] When contracts bring together different parties There's always risk that claims might come from outside A customer gets hurt, or data breaches start Who pays the price when lawsuits coincide Indemnity provisions draw the line so clear Shifting responsibility from there to here [Chorus] Hold harmless, make me whole That's the indemnity goal One-way flows or mutual shields Decide who pays when trouble yields Third-party claims and losses too Who covers what, it's up to you Indemnify, protect and pay Keep the liability away [Verse 2] One-way indemnity means you protect just me I'm covered but you're standing on your own When lawsuits fly from what your product does The damages and legal fees you'll own But mutual means we both provide the shield Each party's got protection in the deal [Chorus] Hold harmless, make me whole That's the indemnity goal One-way flows or mutual shields Decide who pays when trouble yields Third-party claims and losses too Who covers what, it's up to you Indemnify, protect and pay Keep the liability away [Bridge] Scope matters most, what triggers the clause IP infringement, negligence, or breach Defense costs, settlements, and judgments all Define exactly what your promise reaches Carve-outs limit what you'll guarantee Caps and baskets set the boundaries free [Verse 3] Tech products carry risks in every line Data breaches, patent fights, and privacy The vendor who created what went wrong Should bear the cost of legal jeopardy But buyers have responsibilities too Misuse can shift the burden back to you [Chorus] Hold harmless, make me whole That's the indemnity goal One-way flows or mutual shields Decide who pays when trouble yields Third-party claims and losses too Who covers what, it's up to you Indemnify, protect and pay Keep the liability away [Outro] Draft with care, negotiate with thought Indemnity's protection can't be bought Just promised in the contract that you sign Protecting parties, yours and mine
