Important Considerations for Each Entity:

• University Policies: UAPB and UALR will have their own risk management and legal departments. This form must align with their institutional policies and potentially require their specific approval or modifications.

• Insurance: Each entity will have its own insurance coverage. This indemnity agreement should work in conjunction with, and not replace, their insurance policies.

• Specificity of Activity: The "Activity/Event" section should be as specific as possible to clearly define the scope of the indemnity.

• Venue Agreements: If the Activity/Event takes place on university grounds, there may be separate venue use agreements that also contain indemnity clauses. This form should be consistent with those agreements.

• Legal Review: As emphasized before, each organization must have their legal counsel review and approve this form before it is used.
