Mandatory Clause Samples
A "Mandatory" clause establishes that certain actions, requirements, or provisions are compulsory and must be followed by the parties involved. In practice, this clause may specify obligations such as compliance with laws, submission of documents, or participation in required processes, leaving no room for discretion or negotiation. Its core function is to ensure that critical terms are strictly adhered to, thereby reducing ambiguity and ensuring that essential obligations are met without exception.
