Review Not Approval Clause Samples
The "Review Not Approval" clause establishes that a party’s review of documents, plans, or work does not constitute formal approval or acceptance of those items. In practice, this means that even if one party examines or comments on another party’s submissions, such actions do not relieve the submitting party of responsibility for meeting contractual requirements or standards. This clause is commonly used in construction or service agreements to clarify that oversight or feedback does not shift liability or imply endorsement. Its core function is to prevent misunderstandings about responsibility, ensuring that the reviewing party is not held accountable for errors or omissions simply because they reviewed the work.
