Non-legislative Sample Clauses
A Non-legislative clause specifies that the provisions or requirements outlined within it are not derived from, nor do they directly reference, statutory or legislative mandates. Instead, such clauses are typically based on the mutual agreement of the parties or on industry standards, rather than being imposed by law. For example, a contract might include a non-legislative clause to set out internal procedures or best practices that go beyond what is legally required. The core function of this clause is to clarify that certain obligations or standards are established by the parties themselves, helping to avoid confusion about whether compliance is legally mandated or contractually agreed.
