What happens if a contract contradicts itself?

If a contract contradicts itself, it can lead to confusion regarding the parties' intentions and obligations. Courts typically interpret ambiguous or contradictory clauses in favor of the party that did not draft the contract, often using the principle of contra proferentem. Additionally, the contract may be considered voidable or unenforceable if the contradictions are material and affect the agreement's core purpose. Ultimately, resolving such contradictions may require negotiation between the parties or intervention by a court.
