Correlation Interpretation and Intent of Contract Documents Sample Clauses
The "Correlation, Interpretation, and Intent of Contract Documents" clause defines how the various documents that make up a contract should be read and understood together. It typically establishes that all contract documents are complementary, meaning that what is required by one is as binding as if required by all, and provides guidance on resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities between documents. For example, if the specifications and drawings differ, the clause may specify which takes precedence or how to interpret the intent. This clause ensures that the contract is interpreted as a cohesive whole, reducing disputes over conflicting provisions and clarifying the parties' obligations.
