Päätösklausuuli

Päätösklausuuli, often translated as "decision clause" or "termination clause," is a common feature in Finnish legal contracts. It outlines the conditions under which either party, or both, can terminate the agreement. These clauses are crucial for managing risk and providing clarity in contractual relationships.

A päätösklausuuli typically specifies the grounds for termination. These can include material breach of contract, insolvency of one party, or the occurrence of specific unforeseen events. The clause may also detail the notice period required before termination takes effect, ensuring that the other party has time to prepare for the cessation of the contract.

Furthermore, a well-drafted päätösklausuuli might address the consequences of termination. This could involve provisions for the return of property, settlement of outstanding payments, or the continuation of certain obligations that survive the termination, such as confidentiality agreements. The purpose is to create a clear and orderly exit from the contractual relationship, minimizing potential disputes. The specific wording and scope of a päätösklausuuli can vary significantly depending on the type of contract and the industries involved.
