A clause is a provision that relates to a specific point and is included in a legal document, e.g. a contract, written agreement, policy, deed, etc. It is usually in the form of a section, phrase, segment or paragraph. Documents such as regulations and policy papers are typically divided into number components, which may be referred to as ‘clauses’, for easy reference within the document.

A clause in a contract typically addresses an aspect of that contract between the parties, and aims to detail or clarify some part of the agreement, thereby reducing or avoiding the risk of ambiguity or misinterpretation.

Standard contractual clauses can be included into contracts in order to increase efficiency, ensure consistency, reduce the amount of time required to draft documents, and harness prior experience.

Contracts generally include a clause making provision for the contractor to pay liquidated damages to the client in the event that the contract is breached.
