Passive Clause Samples

The 'Passive' clause typically refers to a provision that addresses the use of passive voice in contractual language or, more commonly, the assignment of responsibility when an action is described passively. In practice, this clause may clarify that obligations or liabilities still apply to a party even if the contract uses passive constructions, such as "payment shall be made" instead of specifying who must make the payment. Its core function is to prevent ambiguity and ensure that all parties understand their responsibilities, regardless of how the contract is worded, thereby reducing the risk of disputes over unclear obligations.
