INTRODUCTION
Exemption Clauses are the contractual terms that limit, alter,
change or oust the liability that generally flows from the
contractual relationships. Thus, the contracting parties seek to
exercise maximum control and contain the risks involved through
exemption clauses.1
A common example of exemption clause shall be: "The Vendor
shall not be under any liability to the Purchaser for any defects
in the goods or for any damage, loss, death or injury (other than
death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Vendor)
resulting from such defects or from any work done in connection
therewith."2
Special contracts are those contracts which set up well-defined
and distinguishable rights and liabilities of the contracting
parties.
