Political Time Clause Samples
The "Political Time" clause defines how time periods are calculated or adjusted in the context of political events or disruptions. Typically, this clause applies to contractual deadlines or obligations that may be affected by government actions, elections, or political instability, and it may specify that certain timeframes are paused or extended during such events. Its core function is to provide flexibility and certainty for parties when political circumstances could otherwise interfere with the timely performance of contractual duties.
