Avoid costly litigation by using liquidated damages provisions.
The typical “American rule” with respect to damages is that absent a contractual limitation to the contrary, in the event of a contractual breach, the breaching party is liable for all damages that were foreseeable and that proximately flow from the breach. In light of this potential exposure, savvy vendors often ask for limitations on liability. Often these provisions will include limitations on consequential and/or punitive damages. Except in very limited circumstances, these provisions are enforceable, especially in the commercial contract context.
