General Words Sample Clauses

The "General Words" clause serves to clarify that broad or general terms used in a contract are intended to be interpreted expansively, covering all matters that fall within their natural meaning. In practice, this means that if a contract refers to "assets" or "property," the clause ensures these terms include all types of assets or property, even if not specifically listed elsewhere in the agreement. This clause helps prevent disputes over whether certain items or situations are covered by the contract, ensuring comprehensive coverage and reducing the risk of loopholes due to narrow interpretations.
