Military clauses are provisions in contracts, particularly in leases and loans, that allow service members to terminate or modify agreements without penalties due to military service. These clauses are designed to protect the rights of active-duty personnel, ensuring they are not financially burdened while fulfilling their military obligations. Typically, military clauses apply to members of the U.S. Armed Forces and can be invoked when a service member receives orders for a permanent change of station or deployment. This legal protection helps maintain stability for military families during transitions and unexpected relocations.
