First Formal Step Sample Clauses
The "First Formal Step" clause defines the initial official action required to commence a process or procedure under an agreement. Typically, this clause specifies what constitutes the first recognized step, such as submitting a written notice, filing a formal application, or making a specific request to the other party. By clearly identifying this starting point, the clause ensures that all parties are aware of when formal obligations or timelines begin, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes about when the process was officially initiated.
