Contra Preferentum Sample Clauses
The Contra Preferentum clause establishes that if there is any ambiguity or uncertainty in the interpretation of a contract, the provision will be construed against the party that drafted it. In practice, this means that if a dispute arises over the meaning of a contractual term, the interpretation less favorable to the drafter will prevail, encouraging clear and precise drafting. This clause helps ensure fairness by discouraging parties from including vague or one-sided language, thereby reducing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes over contract terms.
