Existing Contamination Sample Clauses
The Existing Contamination clause defines the responsibilities and liabilities related to pollution or hazardous substances that were present on a property before a transaction or agreement takes effect. Typically, this clause clarifies which party—often the seller or landlord—remains responsible for addressing or remediating any contamination that existed prior to the buyer’s or tenant’s occupancy. For example, it may require the seller to disclose known contamination or to undertake cleanup efforts before closing. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk and prevent disputes by clearly establishing who is accountable for pre-existing environmental issues.
