THERE IS A CHARGE OF $8.51 TO OBTAIN AND PRINT THIS DOCUMENT.

However, please feel free to complete or review this Questionnaire and the Summary which will be produced. It is educational and will provide some insight regarding which areas, minimally, should be covered, and will let you see if the subject matters important to you are covered in the Hold Harmless Agreement

In some examples below, suggested language is shown in double quotes ("). DO NOT use double quotes in any entry fields below. Use of double quotes will cause anything entered after a double quote to be lost in the final document.
A Hold Harmless Agreement is provides that one party, the "Promisor", will be responsible for all damages and liability, including legal fees incurred in defending against a claim, the other party (the "Promisee") incurs, resulting from something the Promisor does or fails to do. Another name commonly used for a Hold Harmless Agreement is "Indemnity Agreement", because the Promisor "indemnifies" the Promisee for any liability or claims made against the Promisee.

A Hold Harmless Agreement is usually used where the Promisor's actions could lead to a claim or liability to the Promisee. For example, the buyer of land wants to inspect the property prior to close of escrow, and needs to conduct tests and studies on the property. In this case, the buyer would promise to indemnify the current property owner from any claims resulting from the buyer's inspection (i.e., injury to a third party because the buyer is drilling a hole; to pay for a mechanic's lien because the buyer hired a termite inspector, and so on). Another example is where a property owner allows a caterer to use its property to cater an event. In this example the Catering Company (the "Promisor"), agrees to indemnify the property owner for any claims arising from the Catering Company's use of the property.
