Not a Fiduciary Clause Samples

The "Not a Fiduciary" clause explicitly states that one party does not owe fiduciary duties to the other under the agreement. In practice, this means that the party is not required to act in the best interests of the other, nor are they held to the heightened standards of loyalty and care that fiduciaries must observe. This clause is commonly used in commercial contracts to clarify that the relationship is strictly contractual and not one of trust or special confidence. Its core function is to prevent misunderstandings about the nature of the parties' relationship and to limit potential liability arising from claims of breach of fiduciary duty.
