Burdens of Proof Sample Clauses
The Burdens of Proof clause defines which party is responsible for proving certain facts or claims in a dispute arising under the contract. Typically, this clause specifies that the party making an assertion—such as alleging a breach or seeking damages—must provide sufficient evidence to support their position. For example, if a buyer claims defective goods, the buyer must prove the defect existed at delivery. This clause ensures clarity in legal proceedings by allocating evidentiary responsibilities, thereby streamlining dispute resolution and reducing ambiguity about who must substantiate their claims.
