What does indemnity mean in a performer contract?

Indemnity in a performer contract refers to a clause that protects one party from legal liability or financial loss arising from the actions or omissions of another party. Typically, the performer agrees to indemnify the producer or promoter against claims, damages, or expenses related to the performer's performance, including any infringement of rights or injury to third parties. This provision ensures that the producer is safeguarded from potential lawsuits or claims related to the performance.
