This is why any decent contract or agreement has a definitions section. Ambiguity in legal docs should always be minimized.

  On the contrary, it's why contracts use boilerplate. Boilerplate words have all been litigated. Boilerplate clauses are well understood. Affiliate, affiliated, affiliation, words like these are boilerplate, unless you go to the trouble of locally redefining.

    Embrace the magic of “and”. Boilerplate is good but definitions are best, even with boilerplate words that have boilerplate definitions. Incorporating those definitions into the document at the time of execution benefits all parties. Again: minimize ambiguity, anticipate what will make dispute resolution easier. Source: have worked through a lot of contracts, license agreements, labor agreements, and disputes over the same.
