What a great
setup- I mean, you're completely
free of being held
responsible for your actions under an
agreement if its terms bind you this way. You can't go off
breaching trust or your
contract, but you can
fuck up your operation and lose out on your end
product or
goal and not be
sued.
But then so can the other party... In most cases contract law is mutually beneficial that way.
Webster 1913 defines the word
Indemnify as "to save harmless" and if you spend any amount of time perusing
legalese you should note yet another
gaping hole in the
diction used within
documents,
transcripts and
articles
focusing on the law.
An
English prof would have a fit.
I sometimes give cubicle sermons-
preaching in legalese to the other
drones around me when I get
hyperactive at
work. In my best
Jim Bakker voice, I
beg for Indemnification for behaving in such a way.
"Whereas I ask for you to Indemnify and Save Me Harmless from the
evils of the Cubicle Nazi for my rants and preachings, but I cannot STOP!
We cannot stop the madness, can we?"
"Hell, No!" a voice cries from the other side of the partition.
"And we, the employee are known herein as the peon. Peons say Amen"
"Amen!" cries the voice.
I get weird looks from people when I get like this.
