Indemnification defined

What does “indemnification” mean?

Indemnification is the act of making another party "whole" by paying any loss another might suffer.

This is usually seen as a clause in a contract where a party agrees to pay for any losses which arise or have arisen already. In many community association documents, the association “indemnifies” the board members and committees, protecting them, to a degree, from any personal loss as a result of a lawsuit. If you have a management contract, you will probably see a similar clause there.
