Erroneous certification Sample Clauses
The "Erroneous certification" clause defines the consequences and procedures that apply when a party provides a false or incorrect certification under the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the steps to be taken if a certification—such as a statement of compliance, eligibility, or financial status—is later found to be inaccurate, whether due to mistake or intentional misrepresentation. For example, it may require the certifying party to promptly correct the error, notify the other party, or face specific remedies such as contract termination or indemnification. The core function of this clause is to protect parties from relying on false information and to provide a clear process for addressing and rectifying certification errors, thereby reducing risk and ensuring contractual integrity.
Erroneous certification. The certification in paragraph (b) of the provision entitled “Restriction on Federal Public Works Projects—Certification,” is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making the award. If it is later determined that the Contractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may cancel this contract for default at no cost to the Government.
