Indenifies, often referred to as indemnities, are contractual agreements where one party agrees to compensate another for certain losses or damages. They serve to protect individuals or businesses from financial liability arising from specific actions, claims, or events. Indemnities are commonly found in insurance policies, service agreements, and contracts, providing a layer of security against potential risks. Essentially, they ensure that the indemnified party is reimbursed for losses incurred due to the actions of the indemnifying party or related circumstances.
