Increased Cost Clause Samples

The Increased Cost clause allows a party to adjust the terms of an agreement if external factors cause their costs to rise unexpectedly. Typically, this clause applies when changes in law, regulation, or market conditions increase the expenses associated with fulfilling contractual obligations, such as higher taxes, tariffs, or compliance costs. Its core function is to allocate the risk of unforeseen cost increases, ensuring that the affected party is not unfairly burdened and that the contract remains fair and viable for both sides.
