Change of Design Clause Samples

Change of Design. A design change is any change in the selection of structural materials or dimensional change not attributable to normal manufacturing tolerances. Minor design changes shall be permitted to be qualified through a reduced test program. Changes of design specified in table 6.7 shall require design qualification testing as specified in the table.

Change of Design. 5.2.1 Manufacturer may, at any time and without liability to Distributor, improve, modify or discontinue any Product or feature of any Product. Manufacturer will not be obliged to make any change or upgrade in any Product shipped to Distributor prior to the official introduction of any change to the same. Manufacturer may, without liability to Distribute, fill any order placed by Distributor for any given Product by substituting therefore a modified or changed version of the same, so long as there is no significant loss of performance and/or functionality by reason of the substitution.

Change of Design. Company reserves the right to change the design of Company Products or parts thereof at any time without notice to the Distributor. Company may, but shall not be obligated to, make similar changes on any Company Products or parts previously shipped to Distributor or to install or furnish any other different parts than were contained therein when shipment was made.
