Legal Term
Indemnification in a Mobile Pet Groomer Van Lease
Legal Definition
A contractual obligation where one party (typically the lessee/groomer) agrees to compensate and defend the other party (the lessor/van owner) from losses, damages, liabilities, and legal costs arising from specified events, such as accidents, injuries, or property damage related to the van's operation and services.
In Plain English
It's a 'you pay if something goes wrong' clause. If an accident, injury, or damage happens because of your grooming business, this clause says you must cover the van owner's costs and legal fees, even if the owner wasn't at fault.
Example in a Contract
