Increased Costs Clause Samples
The Increased Costs clause allows a party to adjust the terms of an agreement if their costs rise due to changes in law, regulation, or other external factors beyond their control. Typically, this clause applies to contracts where one party may incur additional expenses, such as taxes, compliance costs, or regulatory fees, after the contract has been signed. Its core function is to allocate the risk of unforeseen cost increases, ensuring that the affected party is not unfairly burdened by circumstances they could not anticipate or control.
