PoC Option Clause Samples

The PoC Option clause establishes the terms under which a party may conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) to evaluate a product, service, or solution before committing to a full-scale agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the scope, duration, and objectives of the PoC, as well as any costs, deliverables, or success criteria that must be met. By providing a structured framework for trialing offerings, the clause helps both parties assess feasibility and suitability, thereby reducing risk and ensuring informed decision-making before entering into a long-term contract.
