Awkward Text In Agreement Problems

Postby Tuomas » Sun Feb 09, 2014 3:49 am

Dear all,<br />
What in strong audio awkward in my experience, but i'm-not a native-speaker of Language. Would you please provide your view with this wording.<br />
"The Company authorizes the Company to make use of the<br />
software on a variety of computers under situation it'd be allowable so long as the software is erased in the pc that will be replaced."<br />
If this wording does seem clumsy, manages to do it influence somehow the meaning of this phrase and result in some problems in case there is legal procedures?

Clumsy Wording In Contract Conditions

Postby Maerewine » Sun Feb 09, 2014 9:02 am

ViktorK:<br />
The above mentioned quote is meant to indicate: the Company might deploy the Companyis software on a variety of computers, including alternative computers, so long as the software is erased in the computers being replaced.<br />
<br />
Which makes much more sense.<br />
The most obvious conclusion is that:<br />
ViktorK:"under situation it'd be allowable so long as"<br />
Is completely unnecessary and acts simply to confuse the issue.ViktorK:<br />
1. Are these phrases (under situation it'd be allowable so long as) a type of cliché within the authorized Language, when I was informed from the one that included them?<br />
<br />
Whoever told you that's an idiot.ViktorK:<br />
2. Are they truly required in this phrase?<br />
<br />
No.

Clumsy Wording In Contract Conditions

Clumsy is not enough to void it. If there is a conflict in how the sides are interpreting it, generally the language is construed against the party that drafted the agerement.

Clumsy Wording In Contract Conditions

Laymans consider:<br />
 <br />
I've no idea what which means. Have you been the company? This indicates to express that Company may use software on any computer  long as it eradicated it from prior computer--but thats nearly what it claims or is it?  And one study indicates its permitted to be properly used on only 1 computer at the same time--susceptible to being removed from prior computer--really 1990 strategy?<br />
 <br />
One common view of contract language is if one side creates some sloppy language then that side takes the issues brought on by the sloppy language.

Clumsy Wording In Contract Conditions

Postby Clustfeinad » Sun Mar 02, 2014 5:35 am

Yes, it is clumsy.<br />
It might imply that the client may use the program in one single computer and then deploy it in an upgraded computer provided he eliminates it in the initial computer.<br />
Or it might imply that the client can use it in 100 computers and, as all of these computers is changed, can use it in an upgraded computer provided he eliminates it in the computer thatIs being replaced.<br />

Thank you for the replies.<br />
The above mentioned quote is meant to indicate: the Company might deploy the CompanyIs software on a variety of computers, including alternative computers, so long as the software is removed in the computers being replaced.<br />
In my own view what "under situation it'd be allowable so long as" as utilized within the sentence cited within the first article just hinder the quality and readability since there appears to be no link between your first area of the sentence and the term "it'd be allowable" (or at-least I can not see it)<br />
What I do want to know is: <br />
1. Are these phrases (under situation it'd be allowable so long as) a type of cliché within the authorized Language, when I was informed from the one that included them?<br />
2. Are they truly needed in this phrase?<br />
Your posts appear to suggest an adverse response to both questions.

If you are the one writing the software why not write it so it can be used only once.

Then you can charge a fee for each additional use.
