Work and Material Clause Samples
The 'Work and Material' clause defines the scope of work to be performed and the materials to be supplied under a contract. It typically outlines the specific tasks, deliverables, and quality standards expected, as well as who is responsible for providing, sourcing, or paying for materials required to complete the work. By clearly delineating these responsibilities, the clause helps prevent disputes over what is included in the contract and ensures both parties understand their obligations regarding labor and materials.
