Express Reservation Clause Samples

An Express Reservation clause explicitly states that a party is retaining certain rights or privileges, even if other terms in the agreement might suggest otherwise. In practice, this clause is used to clarify that, despite granting some permissions or making certain commitments, the reserving party does not waive or relinquish specific rights—such as intellectual property rights, future claims, or legal remedies. Its core function is to prevent any implied waiver or loss of rights, ensuring that the party’s intentions are clear and reducing the risk of disputes over what has or has not been given up under the contract.
