Strict Construction Sample Clauses
A Strict Construction clause dictates that the terms of a contract should be interpreted narrowly and according to their explicit wording, without inferring meanings beyond what is clearly stated. In practice, this means that if a dispute arises over the contract's language, courts or arbitrators will avoid reading in implied terms or intentions and will instead focus solely on the literal text. This clause helps prevent parties from arguing for broader or unintended interpretations, thereby ensuring predictability and reducing ambiguity in the enforcement of the contract.
