Recitals

Recitals

Recitals and other statements in contract preambles and introductory sections should be drafted with care even though they may be considered non-binding and non-substantive in nature (e.g., for background purposes only). Depending on the importance of such statements, the parties may wish to clarify expressly that such statements are “incorporated” into the contract, thereby elevating the recitals from mere detached background statements to an important source of definitive intrinsic evidence of the parties’ intentions for purposes of contract interpretation:
