Central Table Clause Samples

The Central Table clause establishes a single, authoritative table or document that consolidates key information relevant to the agreement, such as definitions, schedules, or data points. This table serves as the primary reference point for parties, ensuring that all critical details are organized in one location for easy access and cross-referencing. By centralizing essential information, the clause reduces confusion, streamlines contract administration, and minimizes the risk of inconsistencies or disputes arising from scattered or conflicting data.

Negotiations at the Central Table will take place during normal business hours.
