An Open Appointment Clause Samples
An Open Appointment clause establishes that a party, typically an employee or contractor, is engaged without a fixed end date, allowing the relationship to continue indefinitely until either party decides to terminate it. In practice, this means there is no predetermined contract duration, and notice requirements for ending the arrangement are usually specified elsewhere in the agreement. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility for both parties, accommodating changing needs or circumstances without the constraints of a set term.
