Sample wording: “This agreement may be terminated by either party by providing 30 days written notice to the other party.” Change control clauses: Manage how changes to the contract or project scope are handled. Sample wording: “Any changes to the scope of work must be made in writing and agreed upon by both parties.”
If you wish to refer to a sub-clause in a narrative or correspondence, I prefer to see it in the following format: For major clauses: 'Clause 13 (Variations and Adjustments)' For sub-clauses: 'Sub-Clause 13.3 (Variation Procedure)'
To write effective and enforceable business contracts, you need to include a number of contract clauses. These include indemnification, force majeure, copyright, termination, warranties and disclaimers, and privacy.
Eg. Conditional upon Buyer getting Financing (mortgage approval) or Conditional upon Inspection of the property by a home Inspector. If there is a Condition on Financing & Inspection (for example) for 5 days, it means the Seller has agreed to accept the Buyer's offer and can't accept any other offers.
Examples include confidentiality, liability, and termination clauses, all of which serve to protect parties' interests and provide a framework for resolving potential disputes.
These include indemnification, force majeure, copyright, termination, warranties and disclaimers, and privacy. Without including these important clauses in your business contracts, you may find yourself facing exorbitant legal fees, legal battles that could last for years, and intellectual property theft.
Example1: “The Buyer acknowledges that the property is being sold 'as is' with all faults and defects, whether known or unknown, presently existing or that may hereafter arise. The Seller makes no warranties or representations of any kind regarding the condition of the property.”
Sample wording: “Neither party may assign this agreement or any rights or obligations herein without the prior written consent of the other party.” Cancellation clauses: These allow either party to terminate the contract under specific conditions, often requiring advance notice.
