I’m pretty confident it’s "indemnity." We had a similar practice question where that was the correct answer, right?

I’m torn between "damages" and "indemnity." I feel like both could apply, but I can't recall the exact definitions we went over.

I remember practicing a question about this! "Indemnity" was definitely mentioned, but I also feel like "warranty" could be relevant in some contexts.

I think the term we're looking for is "indemnity," but I'm not completely sure. It sounds familiar from our contract law discussions.
