Exception for trade agreements Clause Samples

The 'Exception for trade agreements' clause provides that certain obligations or restrictions outlined in the contract do not apply when they would conflict with the terms of existing trade agreements to which a party is subject. In practice, this means that if a party is bound by international or regional trade treaties, such as NAFTA or the WTO agreements, the contract will not require them to act in a way that would breach those treaties. This clause ensures that parties can comply with their broader legal obligations under trade agreements, thereby preventing contractual terms from inadvertently causing violations of international trade law.
