Price Fluctuation Clause

Price Fluctuation Clause

A price fluctuation clause permits contract price adjustments based on market price or raw material cost changes. It mitigates price volatility risk in long-term contracts.

Key components include:

  • Market index rates such as commodity prices.
  • Specific raw materials like steel, oil, or copper.
  • Adjustment frequency such as quarterly or annually.

Examples include:

  • A construction contract adjusting steel prices quarterly.
  • An oil supply agreement reevaluating prices annually.

This clause ensures adaptability to market conditions, protecting both parties from unforeseen cost shifts.
