Management Snow Removal Contract
I have a new snow removal contract from a management company sitting here on my desk for review. A portion of the contract has me reading and re-reading:
"Contractor shall be responsible form commencement of service for all injury or damage of any kind resulting from said service, to persons or property regardless of who is owner. In addition to the liability imposed upon Contractor for personal injury or property damage, suffered through Contractor's negligence, Contractor will hold harmless and indemnify Manager for expense, liability, or payment arising out of or through injury to any person or person, or damage to property on which work listed above is located, arising out of or suffering through any act or omission of the Contractor, it's managers or representatives, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by or under supervision of the Contractor in the fulfillment of the operations included in this Agreement."
"It is expressly understood and agreed that Contractor will act as an independent contractor in performance of this Agreement; and Contractor hereby assumes all liability, risk of loss and responsibility concerning snow and ice removal hereunder. No provision hereunder shall be inteded to create a partnership or joint venture with respect to Owner or otherwise"
Question is....I am interpreting this that we (Contractor) are not assuming liability unless we are actually negligent in our duties as per the agreement.
