Cap on Operating Costs Sample Clauses

A Cap on Operating Costs clause sets a maximum limit on the amount of operating expenses that can be charged or passed through to a party, typically in a lease or service agreement. This cap may apply to specific categories of costs, such as maintenance, utilities, or management fees, and is often set as a fixed dollar amount or a percentage increase over a base year. By establishing a clear upper boundary on these expenses, the clause protects the paying party from unexpected or excessive cost increases, ensuring predictability and financial control.
