The Mutual Indemnification Agreement is a critical risk management tool used when two parties engage in business activities where each party could potentially cause loss or damage to the other. This document, governed by Swiss law, establishes reciprocal obligations for parties to compensate each other for losses arising from specified events or breaches. It is particularly relevant in commercial relationships where both parties face similar risk exposure and require mutual protection. The agreement typically includes detailed procedures for making claims, defending against third-party claims, and limitations on liability. Swiss law provides a robust framework for such agreements through the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), which governs contract formation, performance, and remedies. The document should be carefully tailored to comply with Swiss legal requirements while meeting the specific needs of the business relationship.
