How is Violation of Policy defined in a legal contract?

  • Violation of Policy means a breach of set guidelines that can lead to the denial of certain services. For instance, a [organization] can deny services to a visitor for violating policies that jeopardize the safety of a child, the visitor, or others. These determinations are made at the [organization]'s discretion, including site supervisors. Seen in 1 SEC filing.
  • Violation of Policy means an infringement or contravention of a written rule set by your employer or affiliate. This violation occurs either during your employment or after separation from service. It could result in the termination of your employment if it happens during your employment period or related to rules that could be applicable to former employees. Seen in 1 SEC filing.
  • Violation of Policy means the absence of prior written permission to introduce pets to the premises, this is seen as a breach of the lease agreement and can result in termination of the rental contract.
