Why I never sign without reading the indemnity section now

I used to skip over the legal stuff in my pressure washing contracts. Then a job went sideways because of an unclear clause about property damage. I started taking five minutes to review the indemnity part before any signature. Now I avoid nasty surprises and keep my business safe. It's worth the extra time.

My cousin's printing business got burned by a tiny warranty disclaimer.

Tiny warranty disclaimers are such a trap. A buddy of mine ran a landscaping service and got nailed by a supplier's hidden clause on material defects. He had to eat the cost for a whole batch of bad sod because he missed the small print. That kind of stuff can ruin a small operation fast. Now I tell everyone to read every line, even if it makes you cross eyed.
