advisory provision; discretionary provision
A legal provision that recommends or advises a certain action but does not impose a binding obligation. Contrasts with mandatory provisions.
This clause is merely an advisory provision, so there is no penalty for violating it.
It is important to understand the difference between advisory provisions and mandatory provisions.
A mandatory provision that cannot be overridden by agreement, unlike 訓示規定 which is advisory.
A default provision that applies unless the parties agree otherwise; 訓示規定 is even weaker, merely recommending a course of action.
Compound of 訓示 (instruction, direction) and 規定 (provision, rule). The term is used in legal contexts to describe a provision that gives guidance rather than imposing a mandatory rule.
