This course is intended to be an introduction for people new to contracts, and a guide for more experienced users, to common types of liability clauses in contracts. The course begins with a brief overview of what is involved in a contract, and where liability clauses come into play. We then do a deep dive into some of the more important liability clauses, such as Warranty and Indemnification. The course closes with special-case examples of clauses that may appear, and describes potential meanings and impacts. Finally, a brief review of common errors in contract drafting is presented.
