Contra Proferentem Interpretation Clause Samples
The Contra Proferentem Interpretation clause establishes that if any part of a contract is ambiguous or unclear, the interpretation will be made against the interests of the party that drafted the document. In practice, this means that if a dispute arises over the meaning of a particular term, the court or arbitrator will resolve the ambiguity in favor of the non-drafting party. This clause is commonly used to encourage the drafting party to use clear and precise language, thereby reducing the risk of misunderstandings and ensuring fairness in contractual relationships.
Contra Proferentem Interpretation. A provision of the Agreement is not to be interpreted against the interest of a Party merely because the Agreement or provision was drawn or inserted by or on behalf of that Party.
