CONTRACT INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION Clause Samples

The "Contract Interpretation and Application" clause defines how the terms and provisions of the contract should be understood and enforced by the parties involved. Typically, this clause outlines the rules for resolving ambiguities, specifies which documents take precedence in case of conflicting terms, and may set forth the intent that governs the contract’s interpretation. By establishing clear guidelines for interpreting the contract, this clause helps prevent disputes over meaning and ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of their rights and obligations.
CONTRACT INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION. Each of the provisions of this Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to the obligations of either party under applicable laws and regulations. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction under such applicable laws and regulations, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
CONTRACT INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION. Any Memorandum of Understanding on this subject will be deemed to be part of the Collective Agreement. The National Joint Council Travel Directive and the Bilingual Bonus Directive attached in the Addendum shall continue to be applied in the manner as it each was applied between the parties before the signing of this Collective Agreement. These policies may be amended by mutual agreement between the parties. Notwithstanding the redress procedure identified in the by-laws, issues that may arise concerning the interpretation or application of the Travel Directive or the Bilingual Bonus Directive will be processed by way of the conflict resolution process defined in this agreement.
