What does Indemnity clause mean?

Indemnity Clause is a legal provision in a contract where one party agrees to compensate or reimburse the other party for any losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise in connection with the contract. In the entertainment industry, indemnity clauses are common in agreements between actors, producers, studios, and crew members, ensuring that each party is protected from legal claims or financial losses caused by the other party’s actions. For example, a producer may include an indemnity clause in a contract with a director to protect the production company from legal claims arising from the director’s negligence.
