NEUTRAL PARTY Sample Clauses

The NEUTRAL PARTY clause designates an independent third party to oversee or facilitate certain aspects of an agreement, such as dispute resolution or decision-making. Typically, this party is not affiliated with either side and may be called upon to mediate disagreements, verify compliance, or provide expert opinions. By involving a neutral entity, the clause helps ensure impartiality and fairness, reducing the risk of bias and fostering trust between the contracting parties.
