Nondiscretionary Functions Clause Samples

The Nondiscretionary Functions clause defines specific duties or actions that a party is required to perform without the exercise of personal judgment or choice. In practice, this means the party must follow predetermined procedures or standards, such as processing payments or complying with regulatory requirements, exactly as outlined in the agreement. By clearly distinguishing these mandatory tasks from discretionary ones, the clause ensures consistency, reduces ambiguity, and limits the risk of disputes over whether certain actions were required or optional.
