Favored Nations Provision Clause Samples
A Favored Nations Provision ensures that one party receives terms that are at least as favorable as those offered to any other party in similar agreements. In practice, if the contracting party later grants better terms to another party, the beneficiary of the favored nations clause is automatically entitled to those improved terms as well. This provision is commonly used in licensing, distribution, or investment agreements to protect a party from being disadvantaged by subsequent, more favorable deals made with others, thereby ensuring fairness and competitive parity.
