Slight Clause Samples

The 'Slight' clause typically defines what constitutes a minor or insignificant deviation from the terms of an agreement, distinguishing these from more serious breaches. In practice, this clause clarifies that small, non-material failures to perform—such as minor delays or trivial errors—do not give rise to the same remedies or consequences as substantial breaches. By setting this threshold, the clause helps prevent parties from invoking severe penalties or termination rights over inconsequential issues, thereby promoting fairness and reducing unnecessary disputes.
