Protection from Malicious Code Sample Clauses

The Protection from Malicious Code clause is designed to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful software, such as viruses, worms, or trojans, within a contractual relationship. Typically, this clause requires each party to ensure that any software, files, or electronic communications they provide are free from malicious code, and may obligate them to use up-to-date antivirus tools and promptly notify the other party if an incident occurs. Its core function is to allocate responsibility for cybersecurity risks, thereby protecting both parties from potential data loss, system damage, or business disruption caused by malicious code.
