Okay, on page three, section 4.1. It mentions 'indemnification.' What exactly does that mean in practical terms for me?

Good question. 'Indemnification' essentially means one party agrees to protect the other from financial loss or legal liability if certain events occur. In your case, it's about protecting you from potential losses stemming from the other party's actions or negligence as outlined in the contract.
English
问得好。“赔偿”本质上是指一方同意在某些事件发生时保护另一方免受经济损失或法律责任。在您的情况中，它是指合同中规定的，保护您免受因对方的行为或疏忽而可能造成的损失。

So, if they mess up, I won't be on the hook for their mistakes, provided it falls under this clause?
English
所以，如果他们搞砸了，只要符合这个条款，我就不必为他们的错误承担责任，是吗？

Precisely. It shifts the risk. Now, moving on to section 6.2, 'force majeure.' Are you clear on that?
English
正是如此。它转移了风险。现在，我们来看6.2节的“不可抗力”。您清楚这个吗？
中文翻译
👩
Client
第 7 轮
I think so. It's for unforeseen events like natural disasters, right? Things that prevent either party from fulfilling their obligations?
English
我想是吧。它是针对不可预见事件的，比如自然灾害，对吗？那些阻止任何一方履行其义务的事情？
中文翻译

That's exactly right. It typically excuses non-performance due to circumstances beyond the parties' control. We should also look closely at the 'Limitation of Liability' clause in section 8.1; that's often critical.
English
完全正确。它通常免除因双方无法控制的情况而未能履行合同的责任。我们还应该仔细看看8.1节中的“责任限制”条款；这通常是至关重要的。
中文翻译

Client
第 9 轮
Got it. So it limits how much financial damage either side can claim? I'd like to make sure that's reasonable for my situation.
English
明白了。所以它限制了双方可以索赔的经济损失金额？我想确保这对我方的情况是合理的。
