Reciprocal Hold Harmless Agreement

"I need a Reciprocal Hold Harmless Agreement under Swiss law for a joint construction project between our company TechBuild AG and SmartConstruct GmbH, starting March 2025, with specific focus on shared equipment usage and site safety responsibilities."

Document background
This Reciprocal Hold Harmless Agreement is designed for situations where two parties engage in activities that may expose each other to potential risks or liabilities and wish to establish mutual protection. It is commonly used in business relationships involving shared facilities, joint operations, or collaborative projects where both parties seek to clearly define risk allocation and liability protection. The agreement, governed by Swiss law, includes specific provisions for indemnification scope, claim procedures, and liability limitations in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations. It serves as a risk management tool that helps prevent disputes by clearly outlining each party's responsibilities and obligations regarding potential claims or losses. The document is particularly valuable in complex business relationships where clear delineation of liability and risk allocation is essential for successful collaboration.
