PROFESSIONAL RELATIONS Clause Samples
The PROFESSIONAL RELATIONS clause defines the expected standards of conduct and interaction between the parties in a professional context. It typically outlines requirements for mutual respect, cooperation, and communication, and may specify that neither party is considered an employee or agent of the other. This clause helps maintain a positive working relationship and clarifies the independent status of each party, thereby preventing misunderstandings and potential disputes regarding roles and responsibilities.
