Generally, that's one of the things that goes into the contract, yes. Not
shrinkwrap contracts, mind, but real contracts where both parties agree.
Someone can still come after you, but it's a much cheaper response to say
"No, go talk to Joe" than to fight it yourself.

The other choice, of course, is to buy your own insurance. I would imagine
someone would be glad to insure you against that sort of stuff for a price.
