COVID-19 Pandemic Clause Examples
The COVID-19 Pandemic clause defines how contractual obligations are affected by disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It typically outlines the parties' rights and responsibilities if the pandemic or related government measures prevent or delay performance, such as allowing for extensions of time, suspension of duties, or even termination in severe cases. This clause helps allocate risk and provides clarity on how unforeseen pandemic-related events are managed within the contract, ensuring both parties understand their options and obligations during such disruptions.

The parties further acknowledge and agree that such Covid-19 Guidance (which may, among other things, recommend or require the restriction or prohibition of individuals’ movements and/or group gatherings) may remain in effect, be reinstated (if earlier rescinded or cancelled), or become effective on or after any cut-off dates or other cancellation deadlines set forth in the Agreement.

In either case, the Regents shall send all such refunds to Client within thirty (30) business days of Client’s written request.

COVID-19 Pandemic. Due to the continued outbreak of COVID-19 in most areas of the world and the U.S., including the state of Nebraska, the Vendor expressly acknowledges it is aware of the potential risks that exposure to the novel virus poses to the Vendor, its employees, assistants, and volunteers’ health and safety, that the University is not able to lessen those risks, and that providing the Market and Space does not create any liability on behalf of the University. The Vendor understands that exposure to disease-causing organisms and objects, such as COVID-19, and personal contact with others, including but not limited to Vendor, its employees, assistants and volunteers, as well as University employees, representatives and others associated with the University, involve a certain degree of risk that could result in illness, permanent disability, or death. The Vendor also acknowledges that it is impossible to screen and/or monitor all such individuals. The University encourages the Vendor to ensure its employees, assistants, and volunteers, know, understand, and follow the guidance from local and state health directives, as well as city ordinances, particularly since that guidance can change rapidly. After fully and carefully considering all the potential risks involved, the Vendor assumes this risk and agrees to release and hold-harmless the University and its trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates from and against all claims and liability resulting from exposure to disease-causing organisms and objects, such as COVID-19, associated with providing the Market and Space. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

COVID-19 Pandemic a. As of the date of this Agreement, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused several non-traditional scenarios for the operation of the School District’s schools. Those scenarios range from fulltime online, to hybrid (half in-person/half online), to fulltime in-person instruction. How long each of these scenarios may last is unknown.

iii. student testing for classes such as Advanced Placement, SAT/ACT, and state-required standardized tests, iv. breakfast and lunch distribution for eligible students, and
v. iPad and technology distribution for students, faculty and staff. In light of these ongoing operations at the School District schools, it is necessary that the School Resource Officer Program continue during the COVID-19 pandemic even though students may not be at the schools during a traditional, 5- day per week schedule.
