indemnities
Payments for losses
Indemnities are protections against loss, damage, or legal liability.
In contracts, an indemnity clause requires one party to compensate another for specified harms: The agreement included indemnities against third-party claims.
Insurance policies function as indemnities—payments that make the injured party whole.
In international relations, indemnities are payments exacted from defeated nations: war indemnities imposed after the treaty.
