Hold Harmless Clause

[John S. Johnson]

What is the name of your state? Washington

Many arts and crafts shows insist that a vendor sign a "hold harmless" agreement to participate in the show. If you want to eat, you sign the agreement or if you don't...no work or sales...not good for an artist!

1. Is the promoter protected by such an agreement?

2. Can the agreement be broken by negligence of the promotor or staff, in such an instance?

Thanks...your thoughts are appreciated.

Depends on how the clause is worded and the case law in your state...usually the clauses will provide that you will repay the landlord/promoter for any damages caused by your negligence....but there are clauses out there where you would pay for anyone's negligence including the landlord/promoter.
