When Payments Start Clause Samples

The "When Payments Start" clause defines the specific point in time when payment obligations under an agreement commence. Typically, this clause will state whether payments begin upon signing the contract, upon delivery of goods or services, or after a certain milestone is achieved. For example, it may require the first payment to be made within 30 days of invoice receipt or upon project completion. Its core function is to provide clarity and certainty for both parties regarding payment expectations, thereby reducing the risk of disputes over when payments are due.
