Surface Resources Sample Clauses

The Surface Resources clause defines the rights and obligations related to the use and management of resources found on the surface of a property, such as soil, timber, water, or gravel. Typically, this clause specifies which party—often the landowner or a lessee—has the authority to access, use, or extract these resources, and may outline any restrictions or compensation required for such activities. By clearly delineating these rights, the clause helps prevent disputes over resource use and ensures that both parties understand their entitlements and responsibilities regarding surface materials.
