M&A Purchase Agreement Terms: Indemnification, Reps, and Pricing
Two features of New York law change how these provisions operate. A contractual survival period displaces the statute of limitations. When the representations expire, the claim expires with them — a buyer counting on six years because that is the contract limitations period has misread the agreement. And knowledge does not cure a breach. A buyer who learns of a problem before closing may still bring the claim afterward unless the agreement provides otherwise. Sellers who assume the opposite are assuming a rule New York does not apply. The basket structure matters as much as its size. A deductible returns only the excess above the threshold. A tipping basket returns everything from the first dollar once the threshold is crossed. The same number produces very different recoveries. Working capital disputes usually end outside court. Most agreements refer them to a neutral accountant whose determination is final — which makes the scope of that referral, and whether it extends to interpreting the accounting principles or only to applying them, the term worth negotiating. And exclusivity is the question behind all of them. Whether indemnification is the sole remedy, and how narrowly fraud is carved out of that limitation, determines whether the caps and baskets are boundaries or merely starting points.

Copyright Protection: Protected Works and Exclusive Rights Explained
Copyright protection defines which original works qualify, which rights owners control, and which materials remain outside federal law.
