Contract and Interpretation Clause Samples

The 'Contract and Interpretation' clause defines how the contract should be read and understood by the parties involved. It typically sets out rules for interpreting ambiguous terms, clarifies the hierarchy of documents if there are conflicts, and may specify that headings are for convenience only and do not affect meaning. This clause ensures that both parties have a clear framework for resolving uncertainties in the contract's language, thereby reducing the risk of disputes over interpretation.

Contract and Interpretation. 1.1 These Terms and Conditions set out the terms on which the Supplier agrees to provide services to Firefish from time to time (the “Services”). Those Services may be provided for the benefit of Firefish itself, or for Firefish’s Affiliates, or for one or more of Firefish’s clients, and all references to Firefish shall be deemed to include these entities where applicable. 1.2 Each time Firefish engages the Supplier to provide Services to it, the parties will agree a scope of work or order document (a “Work Order”) which sets out the specific details of the Services and any deliverables that the Supplier will deliver to Firefish when providing the Services (the “Deliverables”), including the timetable for providing the services, KPIs, service levels or other milestones and requirements together with the fees that are payable to you and any other special arrangements. 1.3 The contract between Firefish and the Supplier consists solely of these Terms and Conditions (including any addenda or documents referred to herein and incorporated by reference) and each Work Order, which should be read together as one document and shall together form the agreement between the parties. Firefish’s Affiliates may enter into separate Work Orders directly with the Supplier which shall be governed by these Terms and Conditions and will together form a separate agreement as between the relevant Firefish Affiliate and the Supplier. The relevant Firefish Affiliate, not Firefish, shall be solely responsible and liable to the Supplier for its performance under the agreement. These Terms and Conditions apply rather than any Work Order if there is any inconsistency between them, except where any provision of these Terms and Conditions states that different terms can be set out in the Work Order. 1.4 The headings in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and shall not affect its interpretation. 1.5 In these Terms and Conditions, any term that is defined in a clause shall have the meaning given to it in that clause, and the following terms shall have the following meanings:
