A Continuous Operation Clause (also known as a "Maintenance of Efforts Clause" or "Maintenance of Status Quo Clause") is a contractual provision in an agreement or contract that guarantees that the parties will maintain the existing level of performance for the duration of the contract. This clause is often used to ensure that neither party will reduce the level of performance or services provided during the contract period as a means to reduce costs. The two main types of Continuous Operation Clauses are Performance Clauses and Obligation Clauses. Performance Clauses guarantee that the performance of the parties will remain at the same level throughout the contract period. Obligation Clauses guarantee that the parties will continue to fulfill their obligations under the contract as originally agreed.
