Definition[]
A most favored nation clause (also called a most favored customer clause or most favored licensee clause) is a contract provision in which a seller (or licensor) agrees to give the buyer (or licensee) the best terms it makes available to any other buyer (or licensee).
Sample clause[]
| “ | All of the benefits and terms granted by seller [lessor] [licensor] herein are at least as favorable as the benefits and terms granted by seller [lessor] [licensor] to any previous buyer [lessee] [licensee] of the hardware [software] described in this Agreement. Should seller [lessor] [licensor] enter into any subsequent agreement with any other buyer [lessee] [licensee], [during the term of this Agreement,] which provides for benefits or terms more favorable than those contained in this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified to provide buyer [lessee] [licensee] with those more favorable benefits and terms.
Seller [lessor] [licensor] shall notify buyer [lessee] [licensee] promptly of the existence of such more favorable benefits and terms and buyer [lessee] [licensee] shall have the right to receive the more favorable benefits and terms immediately. If requested in writing by the buyer [lessee] [licensee], seller [lessor] [licensor] shall amend this Agreement to contain the more favorable terms and conditions. |
