Document background
The Hold Harmless Certificate is a critical risk management instrument commonly used in the United Arab Emirates business environment to allocate and transfer risk between parties. It is particularly relevant in situations where one party wishes to protect another from potential claims, losses, or liabilities arising from specific activities or relationships. The document must comply with UAE Civil Code requirements and local commercial regulations, making it essential to include specific provisions that ensure enforceability under UAE law. This certificate is commonly used in construction projects, service agreements, property transactions, and various commercial arrangements where clear risk allocation is necessary. The document typically includes detailed identification of parties, specific activities covered, duration of protection, and clear indemnification obligations.
