Sunset Clauses Clause Samples
A sunset clause is a contractual provision that sets an automatic expiration date for certain terms or the entire agreement unless specific actions are taken to renew or extend it. In practice, this means that after a predetermined period—such as five years from the contract’s effective date—the clause or agreement will cease to have effect unless both parties agree to continue. Sunset clauses are commonly used to ensure that outdated or unnecessary obligations do not persist indefinitely, thereby providing a clear endpoint and encouraging periodic review or renegotiation of the contract’s terms.
Sunset Clauses. Throughout this document there are several sunset clauses that define action to be taken by the negotiation teams. However, in the event that negotiations reach an impasse, in order for any or all sunset clauses, and the provisions to which they refer, listed in the negotiated agreement to continue in force during the impasse period, both the WTA and the Board negotiation teams must approve the continuation of said clauses. Should one party not agree to such a continuation, the clauses and the provisions to which they refer will no longer be applicable to the negotiated agreement and will not be subject to continuing contract law.
