Forfeiture and Repayment Sample Clauses
The Forfeiture and Repayment clause establishes the conditions under which a party must give up certain rights or benefits and return previously received payments or assets. Typically, this clause applies if a party breaches the agreement, fails to meet specified obligations, or if certain triggering events occur, such as early termination or misconduct. Its core practical function is to protect the non-breaching party by ensuring that they can recover losses or prevent unjust enrichment, thereby promoting fairness and accountability in the contractual relationship.
