Notwithstanding Section 14 Clause Samples
The "Notwithstanding Section 14" clause serves to establish that the provisions it introduces will take precedence over anything stated in Section 14 of the agreement. In practice, this means that if there is any conflict or inconsistency between the new clause and Section 14, the terms of the new clause will override those of Section 14. For example, if Section 14 sets certain limitations or requirements, but the new clause provides an exception or alternative, the exception will apply. This clause is used to resolve potential conflicts within the contract and ensure that specific terms are given priority, thereby providing clarity and preventing ambiguity in the interpretation of the agreement.
