Non-Appropriation Event Clause Samples

A Non-Appropriation Event clause defines what happens if a government entity is unable to fulfill its payment obligations under a contract due to a failure to secure necessary funding or budget appropriations. In practice, this clause typically allows the government party to terminate the agreement without penalty if its legislative body does not allocate funds for future payments, often requiring prompt written notice to the other party.
