Kõrvaltingimused

Kõrvaltingimused is an Estonian term that translates to "ancillary conditions" or "secondary conditions" in English. In a legal context, it refers to stipulations or clauses that are added to a main agreement or contract to further define, clarify, or modify the primary terms. These conditions are not the core subject of the agreement but serve to address specific aspects, potential scenarios, or supplementary obligations.

These ancillary conditions can encompass a wide range of issues. They might detail specific performance metrics, outline dispute resolution mechanisms, establish warranty provisions, or specify terms for termination beyond the main breach clauses. For instance, in a sales contract, the main condition might be the sale of goods, while ancillary conditions could cover delivery schedules, payment methods, or post-sale support.

The purpose of including kõrvaltingimused is to provide a more comprehensive and robust framework for the contractual relationship. They aim to prevent misunderstandings, mitigate risks, and ensure that all parties have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities in various circumstances. While they are secondary to the main agreement, they are legally binding and form an integral part of the overall contract. Failure to adhere to these conditions can lead to the same legal consequences as breaching the main terms of the contract.
