Other Rules of Interpretation Clause Samples
The "Other Rules of Interpretation" clause defines how the contract should be read and understood beyond the standard rules of contract interpretation. It typically clarifies how headings, plural and singular terms, references to statutes, or the use of certain words (like "including") should be treated throughout the agreement. For example, it may state that section headings are for convenience only and do not affect meaning, or that references to laws include any amendments. This clause ensures consistency and reduces ambiguity in interpreting the contract, helping to prevent disputes over the meaning of specific terms or provisions.
