Bumping Privileges Clause Samples
The Bumping Privileges clause defines the conditions under which a party may temporarily or permanently elevate the access rights or authority of a user or system within a contractual relationship. Typically, this clause outlines the specific scenarios—such as emergencies, system maintenance, or troubleshooting—where increased privileges are justified, and may set limits on the duration or scope of such elevated access. Its core function is to ensure operational flexibility while maintaining security and accountability, thereby addressing the need for exceptional access without compromising overall system integrity.
