CLED BOOKS: Understanding Commonly Used Contract Terms: Boilerplate Clauses (ISBN 0 9581 452 37) $24.95 inc GST › Order the Book › International Edition The purpose of this book is to familiarise the reader with the look and feel of particular contract clauses (often called boilerplate clauses) that are of key importance in commercial contracts.

In commercial contract negotiations, some executives will only carefully scrutinise the commercial or deal terms of the contract. The rest is usually left “for the lawyers to sort out”.

However, the boilerplate clauses will usually govern or regulate the other commercial or “deal” clauses. Therefore, boilerplate clauses play a very important part in the contract as a whole.

It is only through this process of familiarisation that one can begin to understand their impacts and effects. The important thing is to be able to identify them and understand what they are trying to achieve by their inclusion within the contract.

Having an understanding of the way they work and the way they are used, will place you well ahead of most other business executives in this area.
