Also called an "indemnification", this type of agreement protects someone from being sued because of what a third person does to the victim. For example, before I let you clean the floors of my office, you will have to indemnify me (hold me harmless) if you negligently leave a dangerous condition that injures a visitor. The visitor sues me, I invoke indemnification, you pay all my legal bills and any damages awarded by the court.
