PRIOR PRACTICE Sample Clauses
The "Prior Practice" clause defines how previous behaviors, customs, or understandings between the parties are treated under the current agreement. Typically, this clause clarifies whether past practices—such as informal arrangements or unwritten rules—will continue to apply or be superseded by the new contract terms. For example, if the parties had a habit of flexible work hours before the contract, the clause will state if that practice remains valid. Its core function is to prevent misunderstandings by specifying whether prior practices are binding or excluded, ensuring that only the written terms govern the relationship moving forward.
