This is only a portion of the contract; however, regardless, GENERALLY, indemnifcation clauses cannot stop the subcontractor from liening the project (I have
never heard of such a case, with that being said, there is not enough information here). If you need assistance with a lien, please let us know.

If you're in New York, you have four months to lien the property if it is resedential and eight months if it is commerical. You would have lien rights in this
