THE ANNUAL CAPS Clause Samples

The "Annual Caps" clause sets a maximum limit on the amount or value of transactions, payments, or liabilities that can occur within a given year under an agreement. In practice, this means that parties agree not to exceed a specified monetary threshold for certain activities, such as purchases, services, or indemnities, during each contract year. This clause helps manage financial exposure and risk by ensuring that obligations remain within predictable and agreed-upon boundaries, thereby preventing unexpected or excessive costs.
