Compromise Negotiations Clause Samples

The Compromise Negotiations clause establishes that discussions, communications, or documents exchanged between parties in an effort to resolve a dispute are considered confidential and generally inadmissible as evidence in legal proceedings. In practice, this means that if parties attempt to settle a disagreement, the details of their negotiations—such as settlement offers or concessions—cannot be used against them in court. This clause encourages open and honest settlement discussions by protecting the parties from having their negotiation efforts used as evidence, thereby facilitating dispute resolution without fear of legal disadvantage.

C.P.L.R. 4547, Fed. R. Evid. 408 and any comparable provision of any other state or federal law which may now or in the future be deemed applicable to the Negotiations.
