Change in Circumstances Clause Samples
The Change in Circumstances clause allows parties to address situations where unforeseen events or significant changes affect the original terms of an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines procedures for renegotiation, suspension, or termination if circumstances beyond the parties' control—such as new laws, economic shifts, or force majeure events—materially impact the contract. Its core function is to provide flexibility and a fair mechanism for adapting contractual obligations when unexpected developments make performance impractical or fundamentally different from what was initially agreed.
