Create a Hold Harmless Agreement to Send and Sign in 30 Seconds

How to write a hold harmless agreement

A hold harmless agreement (sometimes called an indemnity or save-harmless clause) is a short document where one party agrees not to hold the other responsible for losses, injuries, or claims that arise from a specific activity or arrangement. People use them for contractor work, equipment rentals, property access, events, and informal partnerships.

To make one that holds up, be specific. Name both parties exactly, describe the activity or property the release covers, and state whether the protection runs one way or both ways. Vague agreements are the ones that get challenged.

What to include

• The full names of the releasing party and the protected party
• A clear description of the activity, service, or property involved
• The hold harmless and indemnification language
• The effective date and any time limit
• A signature and date line for each party
