Special Tooling Clause Samples
The Special Tooling clause defines the ownership, use, and handling of unique tools, dies, molds, or equipment that are specifically designed or acquired for manufacturing goods under a contract. Typically, this clause outlines whether the buyer or seller retains ownership of such tooling, who is responsible for its maintenance, and what happens to the tooling upon contract completion or termination. For example, it may require the supplier to use the tooling exclusively for the buyer’s products and to return or dispose of it as directed. The core function of this clause is to clarify rights and responsibilities regarding specialized production assets, thereby preventing disputes over ownership and use after the contract ends.
