While fairly balanced, this document is drafted from the parent company’s perspective and the wording makes it clear that the parent company’s liability only arises if its subsidiary commits a breach of its contract and fails to rectify the breach.
The liability of the parent is limited so that it will be no greater than that of the subsidiary under its contract with the client.
You can use this document if you are a company acting as guarantor for a subsidiary’s contracts, and want clarity on the terms of your guarantee agreement.
