Interpretation and Precedence Clause Samples

The Interpretation and Precedence clause defines how the contract should be read and which provisions take priority if there are inconsistencies. Typically, it sets out rules for interpreting ambiguous terms, clarifies the hierarchy among the main agreement, schedules, and annexes, and may specify that certain documents override others in case of conflict. This clause ensures that any ambiguities or contradictions within the contract are resolved in a predictable manner, thereby reducing the risk of disputes over interpretation.
