Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Sample Clauses

The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) clause defines whether individuals or entities who are not direct parties to the contract can enforce its terms. Typically, this clause either expressly allows or excludes third parties from having any rights under the contract, often referencing relevant legislation such as the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 in the UK. By clarifying the enforceability of contract provisions by outsiders, the clause ensures that only the intended parties have legal standing, thereby preventing unintended claims and maintaining control over contractual obligations.
