Pairing Construction Sample Clauses
The Pairing Construction clause defines the process and requirements for combining or associating two or more elements, components, or parties within a contractual or operational context. Typically, this clause outlines how pairings are to be selected, the criteria for compatibility, and any procedures for resolving disputes or mismatches. For example, it may specify how teams are formed for a project or how products are matched with services. The core function of this clause is to ensure a clear, fair, and efficient method for creating pairs, thereby reducing confusion and potential conflicts during implementation.
