OF THE ESSENCE Clause Samples
The "of the essence" clause establishes that time is a critical factor in the performance of contractual obligations. When this clause is included, deadlines and timeframes specified in the contract become strictly enforceable, meaning that any delay in performance can be treated as a material breach. This ensures that parties understand the importance of timely action and provides a clear basis for remedies if deadlines are missed, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes over late performance.
