Firearm Entity Boycotts Clause Samples
The Firearm Entity Boycotts clause prohibits parties from engaging in or supporting boycotts against companies or organizations involved in the lawful manufacture, distribution, or sale of firearms or related products. In practice, this means that a party to the contract cannot refuse to do business with, or otherwise discriminate against, firearm-related entities solely because of their involvement in the firearms industry. This clause is designed to ensure that all parties remain neutral regarding the firearms sector, preventing the use of contractual relationships to exert economic pressure or promote political agendas against lawful firearm businesses.
