2Interpretation Sample Clauses
The Interpretation clause defines how terms, phrases, and references within the contract should be understood and applied. It typically clarifies the meaning of specific words, addresses how headings, plurals, or gendered terms are to be read, and may specify how references to laws or documents should be interpreted. By establishing these rules, the clause ensures consistency and reduces ambiguity throughout the contract, helping to prevent misunderstandings or disputes over the meaning of contractual language.
