INTERPRETATION AND PERFORMANCE Sample Clauses

The 'Interpretation and Performance' clause defines how the terms of the contract should be understood and how the parties are expected to fulfill their obligations. It typically clarifies the rules for interpreting ambiguous language, specifies which laws govern the contract, and may outline procedures for resolving disputes about performance.
