Hold Harmless Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless County, its officers, agents, employees, and servants from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind, and description, brought for, or on account of: (A) injuries to or death of any person, including Contractor, or (B) damage to any property of any kind whatsoever and to whomsoever belonging, (C) any sanctions, penalties, or claims of damages resulting from Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements set forth in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and all Federal regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended, or (D) any other loss or cost, including but not limited to that caused by the concurrent active or passive negligence of County, its officers, agents, employees, or servants, resulting from the performance of any work required of Contractor or payments made pursuant to this Agreement, provided that this shall not apply to injuries or damage for which County has been found in a court of competent jurisdiction to be solely liable by reason of its own negligence or willful misconduct. The duty of Contractor to indemnify and save harmless as set forth herein, shall include the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
HOLD HARMLESS/INDEMNIFICATION (a) Contractor promises to and shall defend, indemnify, save, and hold harmless the indemnitees from the liabilities as defined in this section. (b) The indemnitees benefitted and protected by this promise are the Public Agency and its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, and employees, together with any additional persons and entities, if any, listed in the Supplementary General Conditions. (c) The liabilities protected against are any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, actual attorneys’ fees, losses, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the actions defined below for personal injury, sickness, disease, emotional injury, death, property damage (including loss of use), trespass, nuisance, inverse condemnation, patent infringement, or any combination of these, regardless of whether or not such liability, claim, or damage was foreseeable at any time before the Public Agency approved the improvement plans or accepted the improvements as completed, and including the defense of any suit(s) or action(s) at law or equity concerning these. (d) The actions causing liability are any act or omission (negligent or non-negligent) in connection with the matters covered by this contract and attributable to the Contractor, subcontractor(s), supplier(s), trucker(s), anyone for whose acts the Contractor may be liable, or any officer(s), agent(s) or employee(s) of one or more of them. (e) The promise and agreement in this section is not conditioned or dependent on whether or not any indemnitee has prepared, supplied, or approved any plan(s), drawing(s), specification(s), or special provision(s) in connection with this work or has insurance or other indemnification covering any of these matters. (f) Except as prohibited by Civil Code Section 2782, the Contractor’s obligations under this section shall exist regardless of the existence or degree of fault of the Public Agency or any indemnitee. (g) The Contractor’s obligations under this section shall extend to claims arising after the work is completed and accepted if the claims are related to alleged acts or omissions that occurred during the course of the work. Public Agency’s inspection is not a waiver of full compliance with these requirements. (h) The Contractor and the Contractor’s insurance carrier(s) shall respond within 15 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the Public Agency, unless this time has been extended by the Public Agency. (i) With respect to third-party claims against the Contractor, the Contractor waives all rights of any kind to express or implied indemnity against the indemnitees. (j) Nothing in this section is intended to establish a standard of care owed to any third party or to extend to any third party the status of a third-party beneficiary.
HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend (with counsel of District’s choosing), indemnify and hold the District, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any alleged acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Contractor, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, Contractors or agents in connection with the performance of the Contractor's Services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all consequential damages, expert witness fees and attorneys fees and other related costs and expenses.

Contractor's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by the District, its directors, officials officers, employees, agents, or volunteers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Contractor's Services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor. Contractor agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the District. a) THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ARTICLE VIII, PARAGRAPH 1 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE SOLE INDEMNITY, AS DEFINED BY CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 2772, GOVERNING THIS AGREEMENT. ANY OTHER INDEMNITY THAT MAY BE ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AS AN EXHIBIT SHALL BE VOID AND UNENFORCEABLE BETWEEN THE PARTIES. b) ANY ATTEMPT TO LIMIT THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY TO THE DISTRICT IN AN ATTACHED EXHIBIT SHALL BE VOID AND UNENFORCEABLE BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE CONTRACTOR.
