AFFIRMATIVE STEPS Sample Clauses
The Affirmative Steps clause requires a party to take specific, proactive actions to achieve a particular objective, such as ensuring compliance with laws or preventing prohibited conduct. In practice, this may involve implementing policies, conducting training, or monitoring activities to ensure that obligations are met, rather than merely refraining from certain behaviors. Its core function is to impose a higher standard of diligence and accountability, ensuring that parties actively work to prevent violations or fulfill contractual requirements, rather than relying solely on passive compliance.
