Recurring Words Clause Samples
The 'Recurring Words' clause defines specific terms or phrases that are repeatedly used throughout a contract and assigns them consistent meanings. Typically, this clause lists these recurring words at the beginning of the agreement, ensuring that each time the term appears, it carries the same interpretation, such as defining 'Services' to always mean a particular set of deliverables. By standardizing terminology, the clause eliminates ambiguity and ensures all parties have a shared understanding of key concepts, thereby reducing the risk of misinterpretation and disputes.
