DISTRACTION Clause Samples
The 'Distraction' clause is designed to address situations where one party's attention or resources are diverted from their contractual obligations. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes a distraction, such as involvement in competing projects or external events that impact performance, and may specify remedies or consequences if distraction occurs. Its core function is to ensure that parties remain focused on fulfilling their commitments, thereby reducing the risk of delays or diminished quality due to divided attention.

In total there were approx. 9K text spans (with persuasion techniques) annotated for English (536 documents), 7.2K for French (211 documents), 5.7K for German (177 documents), 8K for Italian (303 documents), 3.8K for Polish (194 documents), and 4.1K for Russian (191 documents). This section provides an excerpt from the anno- tation guidelines (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2023a). The following general rules should be applied when annotating persuasion techniques: • if one has doubts whether a given text frag- ment contains a persuasion technique then do not annotate it, (conservative approach) • select the minimal amount of text1 to annotate in case of doubts whether to include a longer text fragment or not, 1In our guidelines we do have specific rules for each of the persuasion techniques of what the annotation should include, e.g., in case of Justification techniques the annotation should include certain appeal and the claim or idea it supports, if explicitly expressed in the immediate context, or, in case of Loaded Language only the emotionally-loaded word/phrase should be annotated, disregarding the context it appears in Name Calling or Labelling: ’Fascist’ Anti-Vax Riot Sparks COVID Outbreak in Australia.

Extremists like ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ should not be taken seriously.
