Syllabus

Contracts—Indemnification—Parties have a fundamental right to contract, which includes the right to abrogate the common law—The requirements set out in Globe Indemn. Co. v. Schmitt do not apply when the parties express a clear intent to abrogate those common-law requirements—Court of appeals applied the Globe Indemn. Co. requirements without considering whether the parties abrogated those requirements in their contract—Judgment reversed and cause remanded to the trial court.
