Deformation Clause Samples

The Deformation clause defines the responsibilities and procedures if physical changes or distortions occur to a structure or material during a project. Typically, this clause outlines how parties should monitor for deformation, the acceptable limits of such changes, and the steps to be taken if those limits are exceeded, such as notification, investigation, and remedial action. Its core function is to allocate risk and ensure that any structural issues are promptly addressed, thereby protecting the integrity of the project and the safety of all stakeholders.
