Vermont's AMC law is the most stringent and prohibits an AMC from requiring "an appraiser to defend, to indemnify, or to
hold harmless the registrant (the AMC) or other third party for the development, use or contents of a real estate appraisal."
Too often, as soon as the dollar amount is agreed upon, the client begins to spend the money in their heads, and your delay over further fine print like confidentiality,
hold harmless, indemnity, terms and timing of payment, liens, subrogation, etc, etc, are nothing more than stupid lawyer nitpicking, and your own client will lose patience and confidence very quickly, thus you lose bargaining power with your opponent, and you are forced to accept technical terms you know are not in your client's favor.
