Keystone Clause Samples

A Keystone clause establishes a central or essential provision within a contract that other terms or obligations depend upon. In practice, this clause identifies a key term—such as a critical delivery date, a fundamental payment obligation, or a core performance requirement—that, if not fulfilled, may trigger significant consequences like termination or renegotiation of the agreement. Its core function is to highlight and protect the most vital aspect of the contract, ensuring that both parties recognize its importance and the potential impact of its breach.
