RECAPTURE CLAUSE

recapture clause. 1. A contract provision that limits prices or allows for the recovery of goods

if market conditions greatly differ from what the contract anticipated. 2. A commercial-lease

provision that grants the landlord both a percentage of the tenant’s profits above a fixed amount of

rent and the right to terminate the lease — and thus recapture the property — if those profits are

too low. [Blacks Law 8th]
