Non-Binding Decision Sample Clauses

A Non-Binding Decision clause establishes that any decision, recommendation, or determination made under the clause does not have legal force and is not enforceable by either party. In practice, this type of clause is often used in dispute resolution processes such as mediation, where a third party may suggest a resolution, but the parties are not obligated to accept or implement it. The core function of this clause is to facilitate open discussion and negotiation by providing guidance or opinions without imposing mandatory outcomes, thereby preserving the parties' autonomy and flexibility in reaching a final agreement.
