v.
MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
Docket No. 85443.
Michigan Court of Appeals.
Decided October 21, 1986.
Frederick L. Wyckoff, for Michigan Bell Telephone Company.
Vandeveer, Garzia, Tonkin, Kerr, Heaphy, Moore, Sills & Poling, P.C. (by Keith J. Lerminiaux and Robert D. Brignall), for Kelly Services, Inc.
Before: DANHOF, C.J., and CYNAR and J.M. BATZER,[*] JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Michigan Bell Telephone Company, defendant and third-party plaintiff, appeals as of right from the May 17, 1985, order of the Wayne Circuit Court granting a motion for summary disposition, MCR 2.116(C)(8), in favor of Kelly Services, Inc. third-party defendant. We affirm.
Plaintiff filed this action after she tripped over a telephone cord in the course of her employment at the Kelly Services office. Plaintiff alleged that Michigan Bell negligently installed the telephone equipment on the premises of Kelly Services.
Michigan Bell then filed a third-party complaint against Kelly Services seeking indemnification. The theory of indemnity was based upon a tariff promulgated by Michigan Bell and approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission. The tariff provides:
The customer indemnifies and saves the Company *187 harmless against claims for libel, slander, or infringement of copyright from the material transmitted over its facility; against claims for infringement of patents arising from combining with, or using in connection with, facilities of the Company, apparatus and systems of the customer; and against all other claims arising out of any act or omission of the customer in connection with facilities provided by the Company.
The motion for summary disposition filed by Kelly Services sought dismissal of the third-party complaint. The circuit court granted the motion, reasoning that the language of the tariff did not apply to the circumstances presented by the complaint.
A motion brought under MCR 2.116(C)(8), for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, is to be decided on the pleadings alone. Wright v Wright, 134 Mich App 800, 805; 351 NW2d 868 (1984). The motion tests the legal basis of the complaint, not whether it can be factually supported. Unless the claim is so clearly unenforceable as a matter of law that no factual development can possibly justify a right to recovery, the motion should be denied. Haddrill v Damon, 149 Mich App 702, 704-705; 386 NW2d 643 (1986).
On appeal Michigan Bell argues that the circuit court erred because Michigan Bell is entitled to indemnity under the plain meaning of the indemnity provision contained in the tariff. It further contends that the indemnity language entitles it to costs and attorney fees. In any event, Michigan Bell contends that it is entitled to indemnity for the concurrent negligence of Michigan Bell and Kelly Services if not for the sole negligence of Michigan Bell.
At the outset we note that the parties have assumed for purposes of argument that the tariff is *188 the equivalent of a valid contractual agreement between the parties. Black's Law Dictionary (5th ed), p 1306, defines the term "tariff" this way:
A public document setting forth services of common carrier being offered, rates and charges with respect to services and governing rules, regulations and practices relating to those services. International Tel. & Tel. Corp. v. United Tel. Co. of Florida, D.C. Fla., 433 F. Supp. 352, 357.
Without deciding that they are equivalent, we will treat the tariff as a valid contractual agreement for the purpose of deciding this appeal.
In its third-party complaint, Michigan Bell denied that it was negligent, but alleged that "if both Michigan Bell and Kelly Services, Inc., were negligent, or if plaintiff and Michigan Bell were negligent or if there were any combination of the negligence of more than one of the parties, then Michigan Bell is entitled to indemnity" based on the indemnity provision of the tariff. It is well established that an indemnity clause will be strictly construed against the party who drafts the clause and the party who was the indemnitee. Michigan Chandelier Co v Morse, 297 Mich 41; 297 NW 64 (1941); Skinner v D-M-E Corp, 124 Mich App 580, 585; 335 NW2d 90 (1983); Meadows v Depco Equipment Co, 4 Mich App 370, 375-376; 144 NW2d 844 (1966).
The indemnity clause purports to indemnify Michigan Bell against all other claims arising from any act or omission of the customer, i.e., Kelly Services, in connection with facilities provided by Michigan Bell. The language refers only to errors of the customer. It does not refer to any error or omission on the part of Michigan Bell. Thus, the tariff cannot be construed to allow indemnification *189 attributable to the sole or concurrent negligence of Michigan Bell. We believe that Michigan Bell's reliance upon Paquin v Harnischfeger Corp, 113 Mich App 43; 317 NW2d 279 (1982), is misplaced. In that case, the Court found that the broad, all-inclusive language of the indemnification provision could be interpreted to protect the indemnitee against its own negligence because such an intent could be ascertained from the language, from the circumstances surrounding the contract, and from the parties' situation. We find no such intent from the circumstances presented in this case.
Finally, we reject Michigan Bell's argument that it is entitled to indemnification for defense costs in the event a jury would find it free of negligence. The language of the tariff plainly states that the customer indemnifies and saves the company harmless from "all other claims." The language does not expressly allow indemnification for attorney fees, costs or any other expense. Compare, Redfern v R E Dailey & Co, 146 Mich App 8; 379 NW2d 451 (1985), lv den 424 Mich 900 (1986).
Affirmed. Costs to appellee.
