Pre-existing Attachments Clause Samples

The Pre-existing Attachments clause defines how the agreement treats any liens, security interests, or encumbrances that already exist on the relevant assets or property before the contract takes effect. In practice, this clause typically requires the parties to disclose any such prior claims and may specify whether these attachments will remain in place, be subordinated, or need to be released as a condition of the agreement. Its core function is to ensure transparency and protect the parties from unexpected claims or legal complications arising from undisclosed or unresolved prior interests.

All such pre‐existing Attachments shall comply with the terms of this Agreement. Attachments to or rights to occupy Utility Facilities not covered by this Agreement must be separately negotiated.
Pre-existing Attachments. Unless updates or upgrades are required by Applicable Standards, or unless Owner notifies Joint User to the contrary, Joint User shall not be required to obtain Permits for authorized Attachment(s) existing as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
