PREAMBLE AND RECOGNITION Sample Clauses
The "Preamble and Recognition" clause serves to introduce the agreement and formally acknowledge the parties involved and the context or purpose of their relationship. Typically, this section outlines the identities of the parties, the background or intent behind entering into the agreement, and any relevant facts or circumstances that led to its creation. For example, it may state that one party is an employer and the other an employee, or reference a prior relationship or negotiation. Its core practical function is to set the stage for the agreement, ensuring that all parties are clearly identified and that the reasons for the contract are understood, which helps prevent misunderstandings about the agreement's scope and intent.
