REVERSION TO PRIOR LANGUAGE Clause Samples
The "Reversion to Prior Language" clause stipulates that, under certain circumstances, the terms of an agreement will revert to the wording used in a previous version of the contract. This typically applies if new or amended language in the current contract is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise problematic, in which case the parties agree to fall back on the last mutually accepted version of the relevant provision. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear fallback position, minimizing uncertainty and potential disputes by ensuring that the parties are not left without governing terms if new language fails.
