Controlling Definitions Sample Clauses

The Controlling Definitions clause establishes which set of definitions will govern the interpretation of terms within the contract. Typically, this clause specifies that if there are conflicting definitions between different documents or sections, the definitions provided in a particular section or schedule will take precedence. For example, if a term is defined differently in the main agreement and an annex, the clause will clarify which definition applies. This ensures consistency and clarity in the use of key terms, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes over contractual language.
