LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION Clause Samples
A Liquidated Damages Provision sets a predetermined amount of money that one party must pay to the other if a specific contractual obligation is breached, typically relating to delays or non-performance. This clause applies to situations where actual damages would be difficult to calculate, such as late completion of a construction project or failure to deliver goods on time. Its core practical function is to provide certainty and avoid disputes by establishing in advance the compensation for certain breaches, thereby streamlining enforcement and risk allocation.
