FAQ

A tolling agreement is a legally binding agreement between the claimant and the respondent to suspend, pause, postpone or delay the statute of limitations for a specific period on a claim or a legal matter. It provides the parties additional time to investigate the facts and circumstances of the case further, save litigation costs, or negotiate a settlement.

A tolling agreement means an extrajudicial contract between the partakers that tolls the statute of restrictions for counterclaims for a precise period. For example, if the parties are in the middle of a negotiation and find that they require additional time to arrive at a settlement, a tolling agreement can be served to pause the statute of limitations so that negotiations can continue without fretting about a looming deadline.

Likewise, if a party needs more time to prepare for trial, a tolling agreement can provide that supplemental time.

A tolling agreement in manufacturing is a binding document between a manufacturer and a customer.

In it, the customer supplies the raw materials or semi-finished goods, and the manufacturer agrees to provide the manufacturing services to produce a finished product; the customer owns both the raw materials and the finished product.

Furthermore, it comprises provisions regarding quality control, delivery, payment, and other pertinent information as required.

A tolling agreement can last for an indefinite period, as mutually agreed by the parties. However, most tolling agreements are valid for 90 days or 3 months.

Both the claimant and the respondent can benefit from preparing a tolling agreement. By agreeing to toll the statute of limitations, both parties get more time to negotiate the settlement or to prepare for trial. In turn, this can help to prevent a rushed settlement that may not be fair to either party or a trial that is not as well prepared as it could be.

A tolling agreement works by pausing, delaying, or postponing the statute of limitations. This means that the period in which a party can bring a claim or file a lawsuit is shelved or put on hold. The tolling agreement defines the duration of the tolling period too. Subsequently, when the tolling period ends, the statute of limitations resumes too.
