The Pre-Existing System Clause Samples

The Pre-Existing System clause defines and addresses any systems, software, or technology that a party already owns or has developed prior to entering into the agreement. Typically, this clause clarifies that such pre-existing assets remain the property of the original owner and are not transferred or assigned as part of the contract, even if they are used or integrated during the project. For example, if a vendor uses its own proprietary software tools to deliver services, those tools are not considered deliverables under the agreement. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes over ownership and usage rights by clearly distinguishing between pre-existing assets and new developments created under the contract.
The Pre-Existing System. Where the Existing System Representation demonstrates deliverability issues, a Developer electing ▇▇▇▇ need only address the incremental deliverability of its ▇▇▇▇ request, not the deliverability of the pre-existing system depicted in the Existing System Representation. Likewise, Transmission Owners will not be responsible for curing any pre-existing issues related to the deliverability of generators.
