Alternative Methods Sample Clauses
The "Alternative Methods" clause defines the procedures or options available for performing certain actions or fulfilling obligations under an agreement in ways other than the standard or initially specified method. This clause typically outlines acceptable alternative approaches, such as using different technologies, processes, or communication channels, provided they meet agreed-upon standards or achieve the same result.
