negligent misrepresentation Sample Clauses

The Negligent Misrepresentation clause defines the parties' rights and obligations in cases where one party provides false information without exercising reasonable care to ensure its accuracy. This clause typically applies when a party relies on incorrect statements made by another, leading to financial or other harm, even if the misrepresentation was not intentional.
