Interference with Contracts Clause Samples

The Interference with Contracts clause prohibits either party from intentionally disrupting or undermining the contractual relationships that the other party has with third parties. In practice, this means that neither party may induce, encourage, or assist others to breach, terminate, or not fulfill their obligations under existing contracts with the other party. This clause serves to protect the integrity of each party’s business relationships and prevents unfair competitive practices, thereby reducing the risk of financial harm or loss of business opportunities due to interference.
