BONA FIDE REQUEST PROCESS Clause Examples
The Bona Fide Request Process clause establishes a formal procedure for one party to submit legitimate requests to the other party, typically for services, information, or changes under the agreement. This process usually requires the requesting party to provide sufficient detail and justification for their request, and may set timelines or formats for submission and response. By defining clear steps and criteria for handling such requests, the clause ensures that both parties have a transparent and efficient method for addressing needs that arise during the contract, reducing misunderstandings and streamlining communication.
