A contract that provides for indemnification will be enforced as long as the intent to assume such a role is sufficiently clear and unambiguous. A court may not interpret a contracted indemnification provision in a manner that would render it meaningless. Therefore, when the intent is clear, an indemnification agreement will be enforced even if it provides indemnity for one's own or a third party's negligence.
