Reduced Load Sample Clauses
The Reduced Load clause allows a party, typically a buyer or customer, to decrease the amount of goods or services they are obligated to purchase or receive under a contract. In practice, this clause sets out the conditions under which the reduction can occur, such as providing advance notice or adhering to minimum purchase thresholds. Its core function is to provide flexibility for the buyer to adjust their commitments in response to changing needs, while also clarifying the process and limits to prevent disputes.

The request must identify the full duration of the reduction in load that may be for a period not to exceed three (3) academic years.
