Master Class: What’s a Prime Clause?
As David describes in the first class, the Prime Clause is a contract’s central promise and transaction. Think of: the promise of cloud services; the license to on-premise software; the promise of professional services. Plenty of contracts have a combination. And let’s not forget the promise to … pay. Join us on January 10 to learn more.
