Incorporating additional clauses into recitals
The recitals are introductory statements at the beginning of an agreement that provide context, background, and the intent of the parties entering into the agreement. They help clarify the purpose of the agreement and lay the foundation for the terms that follow. Recitals do not usually create enforceable obligations but are important for setting the tone and understanding of the agreement.
What are additional clauses in recitals?
When additional clauses are included in the recitals, they are typically statements that provide additional context or clarifying information about the relationship, the current situation, or the intention behind certain provisions in the agreement. These clauses help to explain why specific actions are being taken or why certain terms are included.
