Trade Sanctions and Export Control Clause Samples

The Trade Sanctions and Export Control clause restricts parties from engaging in activities that would violate applicable trade sanctions, embargoes, or export control laws. Typically, this means that goods, services, or technology covered by the agreement cannot be supplied to individuals, entities, or countries subject to government-imposed restrictions. For example, a company may be prohibited from exporting software to a country under U.S. or EU sanctions. The core function of this clause is to ensure legal compliance and prevent the parties from incurring penalties or legal liabilities due to inadvertent violations of international trade laws.
