Two of the commonest clauses that Design and Build contractors seek to foist upon architects are also often the hardest to resolve: liquidated damages and indemnities. Blanket indemnity provisions, stipulating that the consultant shall indemnify the client against all claims and other losses arising from the consultant's default, are sought in many appointments. They can be found both for specific losses, such as those arising from breach of copyright, and for broader exposure resulting from any default in the consultant's performance of its services.
