The legal and commercial perspective

Discuss breach risks and define any cap, exceptions and its relationship with indemnities, warranties and insurance.

Not every exclusion or limit is effective in every circumstance. Review applicable restrictions, including fraud, gross fault and harmful acts where relevant.

Read essential obligations and separate compensation clauses together rather than assuming one headline figure resolves everything.

Fictional example for illustration

A fictional service agreement has a general cap but broad exceptions elsewhere. Management reconciles the wording before approving the risk.

Practical steps

  • Define the cap and exceptions.
  • Review indemnities, warranties and insurance together.
  • Check mandatory restrictions.

Key takeaway

Liability negotiation is part of pricing and allocating risk.
