Domain Name Indemnification and Indemnity Agreements

Hold Harmless Agreements

Apart from domain name indemnification, agreements can also include hold harmless clauses, which function as mechanisms to shift risks. Typically, hold harmless clauses specify that a party will not be held accountable for certain damages under the agreement. Domain name hold harmless clauses serve to safeguard against actions by third parties and claims from third parties related to the use of the domain name.

The Importance of Domain Name Indemnification

Prior to entering into commercial transactions or business contracts related to domain name rights, it is advisable for businesses to evaluate domain name indemnification. The extent of indemnity responsibilities can vary depending on various factors, such as:

- The sophistication and type of parties involved
- The availability of damage limitation clauses
- Obligations to provide indemnification
- Relevant domain name and trademark laws
- Any third party claims
