Blocked Payments Clause Samples

The Blocked Payments clause defines the circumstances under which a party is not required to make payments that are otherwise due, typically because of legal restrictions or regulatory prohibitions. In practice, this clause applies when a payment cannot be completed due to sanctions, government orders, or other legal barriers, and it may specify procedures for notifying the other party or resuming payments once the blockage is lifted. Its core function is to protect parties from being in breach of contract when external legal factors prevent them from fulfilling payment obligations, thereby allocating risk and ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
