contents at the front, and every section
should have a heading that accurately
describes the section’s contents. It
should be physically presented to be
easy to read, using spacing, indentation,
punctuation and type fonts that help
achieve this goal.

understanding of the contract and
assure that a defined concept is used
consistently throughout the contract.
