Contrary Intention Clause Samples

A Contrary Intention clause establishes that the terms of the contract will prevail over any standard interpretations or default legal rules if the parties have clearly expressed a different intention. In practice, this means that if the contract contains language that conflicts with general legal principles or customary meanings, the specific wording agreed upon by the parties will take precedence. This clause ensures that the parties' unique agreements are honored, providing certainty and reducing the risk of disputes over how the contract should be interpreted.
