Neutral Language Clause Samples
The Neutral Language clause requires that all contractual terms and communications be written in language that is unbiased and impartial. In practice, this means avoiding wording that favors one party over another or that could be interpreted as prejudicial. For example, the clause may mandate the use of gender-neutral pronouns or prohibit language that implies assumptions about either party's intentions. Its core function is to ensure fairness and clarity in the contract, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes arising from ambiguous or slanted language.
