Illusory Promises Sample Clauses

The "Illusory Promises" clause defines and addresses situations where a party's promise in a contract is not actually binding because it leaves performance entirely at their discretion. In practice, this clause clarifies that if one party can choose whether or not to perform an obligation without any real commitment, their promise is considered illusory and does not create enforceable rights or duties. By identifying and excluding illusory promises, the clause ensures that only genuine, mutual obligations are recognized, thereby preventing disputes over unenforceable or one-sided agreements.

TIPS may permit Vendor to attach those to this Agreement to display to interested customers what terms may apply to their Supplemental Agreement with Vendor (if submitted by Vendor for that purpose). However, unless this term of the Agreement is negotiated and modified to state otherwise, those specific Sale Terms are not accepted by TIPS on behalf of all TIPS Members and each Member may choose whether to accept, negotiate, or reject those specific Sale Terms, which must be reflected in a separate agreement between Vendor and the Member in order to be effective.
