What is the “Pay-back” clause?
The full details of the “Pay-back” clause will be described in its entirety in your contract; however a short summation is as follows: If the State determines that you have breached your contract and that the breach involves injury to waterfowl habitat on the agreement lands from any use or activity inconsistent with the purpose of the agreement, the State shall give written notice to you of such breach and demand corrective action.If you fail to cure the breach or make a reasonable effort within 30 days after receipt of notice to cure the breach, the Department of Fish and Game may require you to refund to the State all payments received under the agreement plus interest at the legal rate.
