Continuity and Maintenance of Operations Clause Samples
The Continuity and Maintenance of Operations clause requires a party to ensure that its business activities or services continue without significant interruption, even in the face of disruptions. This typically involves implementing contingency plans, backup systems, or alternative procedures to maintain essential functions during emergencies such as natural disasters, technical failures, or other unforeseen events. The core purpose of this clause is to minimize downtime and protect both parties from losses or operational gaps, thereby ensuring reliability and stability in the contractual relationship.
