How it comes up, in Chapter 8
An indemnity is a promise to make good another party’s loss from a named cause. Here the cause is a third-party claim, made by an outsider such as a café or a hotel guest. Such a claim lands on Tullavane first, because it rented out the machine. As importer, it also carries the injury risk that Chapter 7 describes.
