Clause

A numbered provision of a contract dealing with a particular subject.

Last updated 28 October 2026

What Clause means

Contracts are divided into clauses, each covering a subject such as payment, liability, confidentiality, termination or governing law. Clauses often refer to definitions and to each other, so they are read together rather than alone.

Some clauses are standard (boilerplate); others carry most of the commercial risk and are the focus of negotiation.
