What happens if there is an ambiguous term in a contract?

by Fred Abramson

Q:   What hap­pens if you enter into an Agree­ment and there is ambigu­ous language? What happens if there is an ambiguous term in a contract?

A:   If the per­son mak­ing the offer means one thing and the per­son accept­ing the offer rea­son­ably means another, then there is no con­tract.  Be aware that just because you failed to put some­thing into a con­tract or there was a mis­take, does not mean it the con­tract is ambiguous.

The court looks at the con­tract as a whole to deter­mine whether a con­tract is ambiguous.

Remem­ber, courts only enforce con­tracts, they will not re-write them.
