ORDER OF PRECEDENCE OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Clause Samples
The "Order of Precedence of the Contract Documents" clause establishes a hierarchy among the various documents that make up the contract, determining which document prevails in the event of conflicting terms. Typically, this clause lists the documents in a specific order—such as the main agreement, schedules, appendices, and referenced standards—so that if there is an inconsistency, the higher-ranked document governs. This structure ensures clarity and reduces disputes by providing a clear method for resolving contradictions within the contract documentation.
