Governing Language Clause

Meaning

A standard provision within a multilingual contract that explicitly designates which language version of the document shall be considered the official, legally binding in the event of any discrepancy or conflict in interpretation among the various translated versions. This clause is crucial for international agreements, particularly those involving commercial ventures in diverse linguistic environments like the health and wellness space. It eliminates ambiguity and provides a definitive basis for legal interpretation and dispute resolution.
