Regards, Chuck *I would very much like to proceed and work with you and your team, but the contract you sent raises concerns for me. Basically, if I were to sign it I would be agreeing to take on unlimited financial risk for my family in exchange for getting this service. Maybe that is not intentional, and your lawyer was just using a template that no one had really thought about, but that is what the contract says. * *Basically, in exchange for purchasing services from The Key I am being asked to act as The Key=E2=80=99s insurance company =E2=80=93 unless your e= mployee has acted with gross negligence (a high bar), intentional misconduct or a breach of a key contract term.* *To give you an example, if I were to sign this and your care giver accidentally ran over someone on the way to see my wife, and was found liable but not =E2=80=9Cgrossly=E2=80=9D negligent (ie. just an unfortunate= accident, was not being reckless), the Key would have a claim against me for any expenses it incurred, including judgements, legal fees etc. You would not even have to make an insurance claim, since your contract stipulates that I would provide an indemnity against potential actions and claims connected to the contract. In a bad car accident that could be a huge sum of money, yet the accident had nothing at all to do with me or my wife. Basically, I would be providing The Key with a virtually unlimited insurance policy in exchange for care giving services, even though The Key presumably already has insurance.* *On the flipside, if your employee did anything at all to me or my wife =E2= =80=93 so long as it was not clearly illegal, I would give up any claim against The Key that exceeded the fees. * *Possible Solution: If you were o.k. to limiting the amounts in both cases to what insurance covers that would be fine with me. I will include sentences with revised language below.* *I hope there is a way to address this. The Key sounds like it offers a great service. But I can=E2=80=99t possibly sign a contract that creates th= at sort of potentially huge legal risk for myself and my family to get a care giver.* *Thank you,* *Jeff* *REVISED LANGUAGE* *I would be fine with the contract if you were to insert the underlined words I have added below:* *My liability:* *=E2=80=9CIn recognition of the relative risks and benefits of services pro= vided by Company, Client agrees to the fullest extent of the law, but limited to the Client=E2=80=99s insurance coverage, to indemnify and hold Company, its aff= iliates, partners, members, managers, officers, directors, agents, and employees (collectively, the =E2=80=9CIndemnified Parties=E2=80=9D) harmless from and= against=E2=80=A6(etc)* *Your company=E2=80=99s potential liability:* *=E2=80=9CThe client also agrees to limit the liability of the Compan
