For Settlement Purposes Only Clause Samples
The "For Settlement Purposes Only" clause specifies that any statements, offers, or negotiations made under its scope are solely intended to facilitate settlement discussions and cannot be used as evidence in court or considered admissions of liability. In practice, this means that if parties exchange proposals or make concessions during settlement talks, those communications are protected and cannot be referenced if the dispute proceeds to litigation. The core function of this clause is to encourage open and honest settlement negotiations by ensuring that parties can discuss potential resolutions without fear that their words will be used against them later in legal proceedings.
