Exemption Clauses

Exemption clauses are provisions in contracts that limit or exclude liability for certain actions or events. Essentially, they state that one party cannot be held responsible for specific issues, such as losses or damages. For example, if a service provider includes an exemption clause saying they are not liable for any delays, they may not have to compensate for issues caused by their late delivery. While these clauses can protect businesses, they must be clearly written and agreed upon to be enforceable, and may not always be upheld in court if found unfair or unreasonable.
