Access and Information Sample Clauses
The Access and Information clause establishes the rights and obligations of parties regarding the provision and sharing of relevant information and access to necessary records or premises. Typically, this clause allows one party—often an auditor, regulator, or contractual counterparty—to request and obtain access to documents, data, or physical locations to verify compliance, monitor performance, or conduct due diligence. By clearly defining the scope and process for information sharing, the clause ensures transparency and accountability, helping to prevent misunderstandings and facilitating oversight.
