Restriction on Fundamental Changes Clause Samples

A Restriction on Fundamental Changes clause limits a party’s ability to make significant alterations to its business structure or operations without prior consent from the other party. This typically applies to actions such as mergers, consolidations, asset sales, or changes in ownership, and may require written approval before such changes can occur. The core function of this clause is to protect the interests of the other party by ensuring stability and predictability in the contractual relationship, preventing unexpected shifts that could affect the agreement’s value or enforceability.
