Public Policy Sample Clauses
A Public Policy clause establishes that the agreement and its terms must comply with applicable laws and cannot be enforced if they violate public policy. In practice, this means that any provision within the contract that is found to be illegal or contrary to the public interest will be considered void or unenforceable, while the remainder of the agreement may still stand. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the contract remains valid and enforceable only to the extent that it does not conflict with overarching legal principles or societal norms, thereby protecting the parties from inadvertently agreeing to unlawful or unethical terms.
