Annual Rate Adjustment Clause Samples
The Annual Rate Adjustment clause establishes a mechanism for periodically modifying the rates or fees specified in an agreement, typically on a yearly basis. This adjustment may be tied to external benchmarks such as inflation indices, cost-of-living measures, or predetermined percentage increases, and it applies to ongoing payments like rent, service fees, or royalties. Its core practical function is to ensure that the contract remains fair and economically viable for both parties over time by accounting for changes in market conditions or costs.
