ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY METHODS Clause Samples
The "Alternative Delivery Methods" clause defines the procedures and conditions under which a party may use different means or channels to deliver goods, services, or communications than those originally specified in the agreement. This clause typically outlines acceptable alternative methods, such as electronic delivery instead of physical delivery, and may set requirements for notification or consent when switching methods. Its core practical function is to provide flexibility in fulfilling contractual obligations, ensuring that delivery can still occur efficiently even if the standard method becomes impractical or unavailable.
