Deficient Performance Clause Samples
The Deficient Performance clause defines the standards of acceptable performance under a contract and outlines the consequences if a party fails to meet those standards. Typically, this clause specifies what constitutes inadequate or subpar performance, such as missed deadlines, incomplete work, or failure to meet agreed-upon specifications, and may detail the steps required for remediation or the rights of the non-breaching party, such as withholding payment or seeking damages. Its core function is to ensure accountability and provide a clear process for addressing and rectifying performance issues, thereby protecting the interests of both parties and minimizing disputes.
