Our lawyer is reviewing the terms/conditions of a used machine we are looking at buying and he has no problem with the "hold harmless" clause (i.e. my company will not hold the machine seller liable if someone gets hurt on the machine) but is all worked up about the "indemnification" clause (i.e. we will cover any legal expenses he may incur if someone gets hurt using the machine and decides to sue him instead of / in addition to suing us and or filing a worker's comp claim.) I looked at the terms and conditions of other machines we have purchased in the past and that seems to be pretty standard verbiage. Do you know if indemnification is pretty much an industry standard or are we suckers for having agreed to it in the past? The seller will not sell us the machine without that clause. Thank you!
