Interest Rate Provision Sample Clauses

An Interest Rate Provision sets out the terms under which interest will be charged or paid on outstanding amounts in a contract. Typically, it specifies the applicable interest rate, how it is calculated (such as simple or compound interest), and the circumstances under which interest accrues, such as on late payments or overdue balances. This clause ensures both parties are aware of the financial consequences of delayed payments, providing a clear mechanism for compensating the party owed money and encouraging timely fulfillment of payment obligations.
