Base Position Clause Samples

The 'Base Position' clause establishes the default or starting terms that will apply to an agreement or negotiation unless otherwise modified by subsequent provisions. In practice, this clause sets out the initial assumptions, such as standard pricing, service levels, or responsibilities, which serve as the foundation for further discussion or amendment. Its core function is to provide a clear reference point, ensuring all parties understand the standard terms from which any deviations or special arrangements will be measured, thereby reducing ambiguity and facilitating smoother negotiations.
