Certain Efforts Clause Samples

The 'Certain Efforts' clause defines the level of diligence or action a party is required to use in fulfilling specific obligations under a contract. Typically, it sets a standard such as "reasonable efforts," "best efforts," or "commercially reasonable efforts," which guides how much effort a party must exert to achieve a contractual goal. For example, a party may be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain regulatory approval or to deliver goods by a certain date. This clause clarifies expectations and helps prevent disputes by specifying the degree of effort required, thereby allocating risk and ensuring both parties understand their responsibilities.

In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
