Non-binding provisions are frequently used in international diplomacy, corporate partnerships, and settlement negotiations in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazilian legal practice, these are often included in memoranda of understanding (memorandos de entendimento) and cooperation agreements to establish frameworks without creating immediate legal liability. In the USA, they appear commonly in memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and letters of intent, serving as preliminary agreements before formal binding contracts are executed.
