Warranties, Indemnities and Guarantees in Commercial Agreements

The protection a contract actually delivers often lives in its warranties, indemnities and guarantees, yet these are frequently misunderstood and poorly drafted. This focused course helps commercial and legal staff understand how each mechanism allocates risk, how they interact with limitation of liability, and how to draft and negotiate them. Examples reflect supply, services and acquisition deals across African markets.

What you will be able to do

Distinguish warranties, representations, indemnities and guarantees.
Draft indemnity clauses that trigger and cap risk as intended.
Align warranty and indemnity terms with liability limitations.
Structure performance, payment and parent company guarantees.
Negotiate disclosure, qualification and survival provisions.
Enforce claims under each protection when things go wrong.
