Additional Interpretations Sample Clauses
The 'Additional Interpretations' clause serves to clarify how certain terms, phrases, or provisions within the contract should be understood beyond their ordinary or dictionary meanings. It typically provides specific definitions, rules of construction, or interpretive guidance that apply throughout the agreement, such as how references to gender, number, or legal entities should be read. By establishing these interpretive rules, the clause helps prevent ambiguity and ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of the contract's language, thereby reducing the risk of disputes over interpretation.

Additional Interpretations. 1.5.1. The term "the Professional" shall be construed as covering, even if not expressly stated, the Professional's consultants, agents and employees.
