Existing Measures Sample Clauses
The 'Existing Measures' clause defines the status and treatment of any policies, procedures, or controls that are already in place prior to the commencement of an agreement or project. It typically outlines whether these pre-existing measures will remain in effect, be modified, or be replaced by new requirements under the current arrangement. For example, it may specify that current security protocols or compliance processes continue to apply unless explicitly updated. This clause ensures clarity regarding the continuity or adaptation of existing practices, preventing confusion or gaps in responsibilities as new agreements are implemented.
