Talk:The Agreement Dissection/@comment-33879344-20171206035648

The triiva above about " Is absolutely incorrect. According to
 * Priya incorrectly uses the legal principle "ambiguity in a contract benefits the party that did not draft it" (in that such terms are construed against the party seeking to have them enforced) when she dissects Sheldon and Leonard's roommate agreement, since "bathroom emergency" is a vague, but not an ambiguous term.)"

www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/ambiguous-contracts.html

"A  contract is considered to be  ambiguous if the  contract is reasonably subject to more than one interpretation. Sometimes, this can mean that it's unclear as to what the parties intended overall. But usually, an  ambiguous contract means that a specific term, word, phrase, or definition is vague or unclear. "

 Catch that last parth, ambigous means vague!!!! So whomever put that trivia there did not know what they were talking about because ambiguous IS something that is vague.. .duh

also, "Also, in most jurisdictions, ambiguous contracts are said to be resolved “against” the party that drafted the contract. The party that did not write the contract will sometimes receive the benefit of the doubt regarding ambiguities. This is because it is assumed that the party that drafted the contract may have more knowledge and bargaining power compared with the other. "

So the writers for Priya were entirely correct in all aspects of this from how courts would interpret it and the use of the term ambiguity.

shame shame on whomever wrote that trivia..

Lets get that corrected
