Consequential or Special Loss Clause Samples

The "Consequential or Special Loss" clause limits or excludes a party's liability for losses that are not a direct result of a breach, but instead arise from special circumstances or indirect consequences. In practice, this means that if one party fails to meet its obligations, it will not be responsible for losses such as lost profits, loss of business opportunities, or reputational damage that the other party may suffer as a knock-on effect. The core function of this clause is to allocate and limit risk by preventing claims for unforeseeable or disproportionate damages, thereby providing greater certainty and predictability for both parties.
