THE SETTLEMENT CLASSES Clause Samples
The "Settlement Classes" clause defines the specific groups of individuals or entities that are included in a legal settlement agreement. It typically outlines the criteria for membership in the class, such as timeframes, types of claims, or other qualifying factors, and may provide examples of who is covered or excluded. By clearly identifying who is bound by the settlement, this clause ensures that all parties understand the scope of the agreement and helps prevent future disputes over eligibility or coverage.
