PRE-COMPLETION Sample Clauses
The PRE-COMPLETION clause outlines the rights, obligations, and procedures that apply before a project or transaction is officially completed. Typically, it governs activities such as inspections, approvals, or the handling of property and risk prior to the formal closing or handover. For example, it may specify who is responsible for maintenance, insurance, or access to the site during this interim period. The core function of this clause is to ensure that both parties understand their responsibilities and protect their interests before the final completion, thereby reducing the risk of disputes or misunderstandings.
