Legal Definitions - provisione tenus

PROVISIONE TENUS

Provisione tenus is a Latin term used in law that means "to the extent of the provision."

When a legal document or contract includes a provisione tenus clause, it means that the agreement is only valid to the extent of the provision. This means that if the provision is not met, the agreement may be considered null and void.

For example, if a contract between two parties includes a provisione tenus clause that states that payment must be made within 30 days of the completion of the work, the contract is only valid if payment is made within that time frame. If payment is not made within 30 days, the contract may be considered null and void.

Another example could be a lease agreement that includes a provisione tenus clause stating that the tenant must maintain the property in good condition. If the tenant fails to maintain the property, the landlord may have the right to terminate the lease agreement.
