The right of set-off is a contractual clause allowing one party to offset mutual debts with another party by deducting the owed amount against any obligations the other party has to them. This provision helps reduce the risk of default by enabling both parties to net out their liabilities and receivables.
Set-Off. You may use the right of set-off. This means you may set-off any amount due and payable under the terms of this Note against any right I have to receive money from you.
Subject to any other written contract, if my right to receive money from you is also owned by someone who has not agreed to pay this Note, your right of set-off will apply to my interest in the obligation and to any other amounts I could withdraw on my sole request or endorsement.
Your right of set-off does not apply to an account or other obligation where my rights arise only in a representative capacity. It also does not apply to any Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account.
You will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because you set-off against any of my accounts. I agree to hold you harmless from any such claims arising as a result of your exercise of your right of set-off.
No Right of set-off – The parties have agreed that any amounts owed shall not be subject to a set-off right.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

The "Right to Audit" clause grants a party the ability to review and examine the financial records, systems, and practices of another party to ensure compliance with contractual terms and accuracy of financial reporting. This clause is often included to provide transparency and accountability, and to safeguard against fraud or mismanagement.
The "Right to Encumber" clause allows a party to use property as collateral to secure a debt or obligation, potentially impacting the property's marketability or the rights of other stakeholders. It grants the holder the ability to place liens or mortgages on the asset, often subject to terms and conditions outlined in the agreement.
The "Right to Indemnification" clause in a contract ensures that one party (typically the indemnitee) is protected from any losses, damages, or liabilities incurred as a result of the actions or omissions of another party (the indemnitor). This clause obligates the indemnitor to compensate the indemnitee for any costs or legal fees arising from claims, effectively shifting the risk from one party to the other.
