Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Petitioner v. Jefferson Construction Company, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the indemnity clause in Goodyear's purchase orders was enforceable because Jefferson had actual notice of the provision and the clause gave fair, clear notice of its obligation to indemnify Goodyear even for Goodyear's own negligence. The Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court's judgment granting indemnity.
