Which single clause in a commercial contract can cost more than the contract is worth? The indemnity, and it manages this quietly, because it often sits outside the liability cap and outside your insurance. AI Indemnity Clause Writer drafts it with the three things that actually control that exposure: scope, carve outs and who runs the defence.
Short answer: AI Indemnity Clause Writer is a free AI tool that drafts an indemnity clause, setting out what is covered, what is excluded, how it interacts with any liability cap, and who controls the defence of a third party claim.
What is AI Indemnity Clause Writer?
AI Indemnity Clause Writer produces the provision under which one party agrees to cover the other's losses in defined circumstances, typically when a third party brings a claim. You describe the deal, the risks being allocated and which side you are drafting for. The output is a clause with the components an indemnity conventionally carries.
An indemnity is a promise to pay, and it is a much stronger commitment than ordinary contractual liability. That difference is why the drafting deserves attention and why nobody should accept one without understanding it.
Why Use AI Indemnity Clause Writer?
Indemnities are accepted casually and regretted specifically. A supplier signs a customer's template, the indemnity covers any claim arising from the services, the cap says liability is limited except in respect of the indemnities, and an uncapped obligation has just been created for a contract worth a fraction of it.
Seeing the clause drafted out with its parts labelled makes that structure visible. It also prompts the three questions that decide everything: what exactly triggers it, what does it exclude, and does the cap apply.
For smaller businesses there is a further benefit. Indemnity language is dense even by contract standards, and having a plain draft to work from makes the conversation with a lawyer shorter and considerably cheaper.
What The Clause Actually Contains
| Component | What it decides | The negotiation point |
|---|---|---|
| The trigger | What has to happen before the indemnity bites | Whether it needs fault, or applies to any claim at all |
| The scope of loss | What is covered: damages, settlements, legal costs | Whether indirect and consequential losses are included |
| Carve outs | What is excluded, typically the other party's own negligence | Contributory fault, and claims arising from their instructions |
| Cap interaction | Whether the liability cap applies to the indemnity | The single most consequential sentence in the clause |
| Conduct of claims | Who defends, who settles, and who chooses the lawyers | Whether the indemnifier can settle without consent |
| Notice and cooperation | How quickly a claim must be notified and what help is given | Whether late notice defeats the indemnity entirely |
| Mitigation | The duty to limit the loss | Often omitted, which suits the indemnified party |
How Does AI Indemnity Clause Writer Work?
The tool runs in the browser, free and with no account.
- Describe the arrangement in the prompt box: what is being supplied, the third party risks you are worried about, which side you act for, and whether a liability cap exists.
- Choose an AI model. Anthropic Claude AI, MSB AI, OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, NVIDIA AI and others are available, and the more precise engines keep the carve outs tighter.
- Open the advanced options accordion and set the jurisdiction framing and how much legal detail to carry.
- Generate. The output card builds the clause with a live word count.
- Copy, Listen, Reuse and Download appear on the result. Reuse is worth using to produce the mirror version from the other side's perspective.
- Export to DOC for insertion into the agreement and review by counsel.
- The activity history panel keeps this session's drafts, so a broad version and a narrow one can be compared before you choose an opening position.
| What you add to the prompt | What changes in the clause |
|---|---|
| The specific third party risk being allocated | The trigger becomes precise rather than covering any claim whatsoever |
| Whether a liability cap exists and what it says | The clause addresses the interaction explicitly instead of leaving it ambiguous |
| What your insurance actually covers | The scope can be aligned to cover rather than exceeding it |
| Which side you are drafting for | The balance shifts, and the difference between the versions is instructive |
What To Put In The Prompt Box
Be concrete about risk rather than about the contract generally. What third party could realistically bring a claim, and about what. Whether intellectual property infringement is a real risk in this deal. Whether personal data is involved. Whether anyone is going on site or handling equipment. Whether a liability cap exists and what it excludes. What your insurance covers and up to what limit. And whether you are the party giving the indemnity or receiving it.
That last point changes everything. A clause drafted for the giver narrows the trigger and adds carve outs. A clause drafted for the receiver broadens both. Generating both versions is the fastest way to see where the negotiation will actually happen.
Align the indemnity with your insurance Before agreeing an indemnity of any size, ask your broker whether the policy responds to it. Many liability policies cover legal liability rather than obligations assumed by contract, which means an indemnity can create an exposure your insurance will not meet. Finding that out at renewal is uncomfortable. Finding it out during a claim is considerably worse.
Drafting It, Step By Step
- Identify the actual risk. A general indemnity for anything arising from the contract allocates risks nobody has thought about.
- Narrow the trigger to that risk, and require fault where you can get it.
- Add the carve outs. Exclude losses caused by the other party's own negligence, their instructions, or their modifications to what you supplied.
- Address the cap explicitly. Say whether the indemnity sits inside or outside it, because ambiguity here is resolved expensively.
- Set the conduct of claims. Notice period, who defends, and no settlement without consent.
- Check your insurance will respond to what you have just agreed.
- Have a lawyer review it, because this is one of the two or three clauses where that is genuinely necessary.
What The Draft Produces
A defined trigger
What has to happen before the obligation bites, stated narrowly rather than as any claim arising.
Carve outs
Exclusions for the other party's negligence, instructions and modifications, which are the standard defensive moves.
An explicit cap position
A statement of whether the liability cap applies, which is the most consequential line in the clause.
Conduct of claims
Who defends, who instructs lawyers, and the requirement that no settlement is made without consent.
Notice and cooperation
How quickly a claim must be reported and what assistance the other party must give.
Tips From The Negotiating Table
- Resist an indemnity for any claim arising from the agreement. Ask what specific risk it addresses and narrow it to that.
- Push for the cap to apply. Where the other side insists on an uncapped indemnity, ask for a separate, higher cap rather than none at all.
- Always carve out the indemnified party's own negligence. It is a reasonable request and it is frequently granted.
- Require prompt notice, but avoid wording where late notice destroys the indemnity outright rather than reducing it by the prejudice caused.
- Insist on consent before settlement. Otherwise the other party can settle generously with your money.
- Ask whether a warranty would do the job instead. Warranties sit inside the ordinary liability regime and are much less dangerous.
- Check the mirror. If you are giving an indemnity and receiving none, ask why the risk runs one way.
Ask for the mirror clause Where a customer requires an indemnity from you, ask for the equivalent covering claims that arise from their materials, their instructions or their data. It is a reasonable request, it is often accepted, and even when it is refused the conversation usually produces a narrower version of the original clause.
Setting Jurisdiction, Enforcement, And Legal Detail
These controls shape the register and the strictness of the drafted clause. Legal Detail should sit high here, because indemnities are one of the few places where precise, formal drafting genuinely earns its density.
| Option | What it controls | When to change it | Suggested starting point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | The legal framing the draft assumes | Set it to the agreement's governing law | Whatever the contract's governing law will be |
| Duration | The period the obligation runs for | Consider whether it should survive termination, as most do | The contract term, with survival addressed separately |
| Governing Law | The legal system referenced | Keep it identical to the rest of the agreement | As stated in the contract |
| Enforcement | How strictly obligations are framed | Strict where you are the indemnified party | Standard for a balanced first draft |
| Include Signature Blocks | Adds execution blocks | Off, since this is a clause not a document | Off |
| Include Recitals | Adds background paragraphs | Off for a single clause | Off |
| Include Force Majeure Clause | Adds force majeure language | Off, as it belongs elsewhere in the agreement | Off |
| Include Governing Law Clause | Adds a governing law provision | Off, since the agreement already carries one | Off |
| Legal Detail | How formal and precise the drafting is, one to a hundred | Keep it high, since precision is the protection here | Around seventy five |
| Custom Instructions | Free text that overrides the menus | When specific carve outs or cap wording must appear exactly | Paste your cap wording and the carve outs you need |
Before You Agree An Indemnity
- ✅ The trigger is limited to a specific, identified risk.
- ✅ Losses covered are defined, and indirect losses are addressed one way or the other.
- ✅ The other party's own negligence and instructions are carved out.
- ✅ The clause says explicitly whether the liability cap applies.
- ✅ Conduct of claims is set out, with no settlement without consent.
- ✅ Your insurer has confirmed the policy responds to what you are agreeing.
- ✅ You have considered whether a warranty would achieve the same result more safely.
- ✅ A lawyer has reviewed the clause and its interaction with the cap.
An indemnity can outlast and outweigh the contract Indemnities frequently survive termination, often sit outside the liability cap, and may not be covered by your professional or public liability insurance, which typically responds to legal liability rather than to obligations you voluntarily assumed. In some jurisdictions an indemnity for a party's own negligence is restricted or unenforceable, and consumer contracts are treated differently again. AI Indemnity Clause Writer produces a starting draft and not legal advice. Never give or accept an indemnity of any significance without a lawyer reviewing it alongside the cap, the insurance and the rest of the agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI Indemnity Clause Writer free?
Yes, free in the browser with no account. Describe the risk and the deal, generate the clause, and take it to a lawyer for review.
What is the difference between an indemnity and ordinary liability?
An indemnity is a promise to pay defined losses, often without the usual requirements to prove breach, causation and remoteness, and frequently without the usual limits. That is why it is a much stronger commitment.
Does the liability cap apply to an indemnity?
Only if the contract says so. Many caps are expressly disapplied for indemnities, which creates uncapped exposure. Read the cap and the indemnity together, always.
Will my insurance cover an indemnity?
Not necessarily. Many policies respond to legal liability rather than to obligations assumed voluntarily by contract. Ask your broker before agreeing anything significant.
Can I refuse to give an indemnity?
You can negotiate, and the useful move is to ask what specific risk it addresses and offer a narrower version or a warranty instead. Blanket refusal often stalls a deal; a narrowed alternative usually does not.
Should indemnities be mutual?
Frequently they should be. Where one party's materials, data or instructions create risk for the other, an equivalent indemnity in the other direction is a reasonable request.
Thank you for reading. The indemnity is the clause where the money hides, and it hides in three places: the breadth of the trigger, the absence of carve outs, and one sentence about whether the cap applies. Read those three before anything else, and get proper advice before you sign.
