Innocent Misrepresentation Sample Clauses
The Innocent Misrepresentation clause addresses situations where one party makes a false statement during contract negotiations without intending to deceive or mislead the other party. This clause typically limits the remedies available to the misled party, often preventing them from claiming damages but allowing for the contract to be rescinded if the misrepresentation is discovered. Its core function is to balance fairness by recognizing honest mistakes while protecting parties from being unfairly bound by contracts based on incorrect information.
