Respondent understands Clause Samples

The "Respondent understands" clause serves to confirm that the respondent acknowledges and comprehends the terms, conditions, or information presented in the agreement or document. In practice, this clause may require the respondent to affirm that they have read and understood specific obligations, instructions, or disclosures, such as privacy policies or contractual commitments. Its core function is to ensure that the respondent cannot later claim ignorance of the contents, thereby reducing the risk of disputes over misunderstandings or lack of awareness.

Respondent certifies that it: ☐ asserts that information provided in its response is exempt from disclosure under the PIA, and Respondent, therefore, has submitted a “Public Information Act Copyas required under the solicitation; or ☐ asserts that there is no information provided in its response that is exempt from disclosure under the PIA, and Respondent, therefore, has not submitted a “Public Information Act Copy.”
Respondent understands acknowledges, and agrees that any false representation or any failure to comply with a representation, warranty, or certification made by Respondent is subject to all civil and criminal consequences provided at law or in equity including, but not limited to, immediate termination of any contract resulting from this Solicitation.
