It typically clarifies how singular and plural terms, gendered pronouns, and section references should be understood, and may specify that headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. By establishing these conventions, the clause ensures consistency and reduces ambiguity in the contract’s language, helping to prevent disputes over meaning.
