Set-Off

Set-Off

Set-Off clause is a contractual clause that allows a debtor to offset amounts owed to a creditor against amounts the creditor owes them under the same or related contract. It reconciles mutual obligations by reducing payments through offsets instead of separate transactions. Common in financial, supply, and service contracts, this clause simplifies payment processes.

Drafting Tip

Clarify the conditions under which one party can set off debts owed to them against amounts they owe to the other party.
