Break Points Clause Samples
The "Break Points" clause defines specific conditions or milestones within a contract at which the parties may review, renegotiate, or terminate their agreement. Typically, these break points are tied to project phases, delivery deadlines, or performance benchmarks, allowing for structured opportunities to assess progress or address issues. This clause provides flexibility and risk management by enabling parties to exit or adjust the contract if certain criteria are not met, thereby preventing prolonged commitment to unfavorable terms or underperforming projects.
