Preparation Time Clause Samples

The Preparation Time clause defines the amount of time allocated for parties to prepare before performing their contractual obligations. Typically, this clause specifies a set period—such as a number of days or hours—between when notice is given and when performance must begin, ensuring both parties have adequate time to organize resources or personnel. Its core function is to prevent disputes or delays by clearly establishing expectations for readiness, thereby promoting smooth execution of the contract.
