Lawful Process Clause Samples
The Lawful Process clause establishes that any actions, disclosures, or obligations under the agreement must comply with applicable laws and legal procedures. In practice, this means that a party may be required to provide information or take certain steps if compelled by a court order, subpoena, or other legal mandate. This clause ensures that the parties are not in breach of the agreement when responding to lawful demands, thereby protecting them from liability when acting in accordance with the law.
Lawful Process. Disclosure of Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena, order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency, or applicable law or regulation shall not be a breach of this Section provided that the Receiving Party, to the extent permitted or feasible under applicable law, provides timely notice of such requirement to the Disclosing Party, and reasonably cooperates with the Disclosing Party, so that the Disclosing Party can file a motion for a protective order or otherwise seek whatever legal relief the Disclosing Party deems desirable or appropriate to protect its interests in the Confidential Information.
