When I ran a technical writing firm in Israel, we agreed to a similar
liability clause in a contract for designing an NGO's Web site. We took out
an insurance policy to cover that specific contingency.

<snip> When I worked at a bank creating documentation for their EDS system
in
1995 the management wanted the writers (myself and two other women) to
sign waivers that basically stated that if the bank was sued because of
our documentation then we would not hold the bank liable and would
provide our own counsel, etc.
