Sacred Rights Clause Samples
The 'Sacred Rights' clause serves to protect certain fundamental rights or privileges that are deemed inviolable within the context of an agreement or governing document. Typically, this clause identifies specific rights—such as voting rights, ownership interests, or veto powers—that cannot be altered, waived, or removed without the explicit consent of the affected parties, often requiring unanimous or supermajority approval. By establishing these rights as 'sacred,' the clause ensures that key stakeholders retain essential protections and that significant changes cannot be made unilaterally, thereby safeguarding minority interests and maintaining balance within the organization or contractual relationship.
