Restrictions on Transfer Clause Samples

The "Restrictions on Transfer" clause limits or regulates the ability of a party to sell, assign, or otherwise transfer their rights or interests under an agreement. Typically, this clause may require prior written consent from the other party before any transfer can occur, or it may specify certain conditions or exceptions under which transfers are permitted, such as transfers to affiliates or in connection with a merger. Its core practical function is to maintain control over who holds rights or obligations under the contract, thereby protecting the interests of the original parties and preventing unwanted or unapproved third parties from becoming involved.
