ADDITION OF DEROGATORY MATERIAL Sample Clauses

The 'Addition of Derogatory Material' clause governs the introduction of content that may be considered negative, harmful, or damaging to a party's reputation within a document or agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the circumstances under which such material can be added, who must approve these additions, and any notification requirements. For example, it may require written consent before including statements about past misconduct or negative performance. Its core practical function is to protect parties from the unapproved inclusion of harmful information, thereby managing reputational risk and ensuring fairness in the documentation process.
