Vesting and Expiration Sample Clauses
The Vesting and Expiration clause defines when certain rights, benefits, or interests become fully owned or exercisable by a party, and when those rights or benefits expire. Typically, this clause outlines a schedule or specific conditions under which vesting occurs, such as after a set period of employment or upon achieving certain milestones, and specifies the date or event that triggers expiration. Its core function is to provide clear timelines and conditions for the accrual and termination of rights, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring both parties understand when obligations or entitlements begin and end.
