Singular and Plural Words Clause Samples

The "Singular and Plural Words" clause clarifies that words used in the singular form within the contract are also intended to include their plural forms, and vice versa. This means that if a term like "party" is used, it should be interpreted to cover both a single party and multiple parties, depending on the context. By establishing this rule, the clause ensures consistent interpretation throughout the agreement and prevents disputes over whether a provision applies to one or more entities, thereby promoting clarity and reducing ambiguity in contractual language.
