Assignment and Agents Sample Clauses

The "Assignment and Agents" clause defines the rules regarding a party's ability to transfer its rights or obligations under the contract to another party, as well as the use of third parties (agents) to perform contractual duties. Typically, this clause restricts assignment without the other party's consent and clarifies whether agents can act on behalf of a party, often requiring that the original party remains responsible for the agent's actions. Its core function is to maintain control over who is involved in the contract and to prevent unwanted or unapproved changes in the parties responsible for performance, thereby protecting the interests of all original signatories.
