CONFLICTS AND INTEGRITY Clause Samples
The "Conflicts and Integrity" clause establishes rules to address situations where there may be inconsistencies or conflicts between the contract and other documents, or where ethical standards and integrity are at stake. Typically, this clause specifies which document prevails if there is a contradiction, and may require parties to disclose any potential conflicts of interest or unethical behavior. Its core function is to ensure that the contract remains the authoritative source for obligations and conduct, thereby preventing misunderstandings and promoting transparency and ethical compliance.
