Agreement and Its Interpretation Sample Clauses

The "Agreement and Its Interpretation" clause defines how the contract should be understood and interpreted by the parties involved. Typically, it clarifies that the written agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties, superseding prior discussions or agreements, and may specify rules for resolving ambiguities, such as giving precedence to certain sections or using standard definitions. This clause ensures that both parties have a clear, shared understanding of their rights and obligations, reducing the risk of disputes over differing interpretations of the contract's terms.
