to terms and expressions in the absence of contextual understanding.” Mark V, Inc. v. Mellekas, 114 N.M. 778, 781, 845 P.2d 1232, 1235 (1993) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Thus, we are not “restricted to the bare words of the agreement in interpreting the intent of the parties to a contract, but may also consider the context in which the agreement was made to determine whether the party’s words are ambiguous.” Id. {34} In the present circumstance, we are of the opinion that the terms of the release are clear and based on the undisputed facts of this case, can be interpreted in only one way: the terms plainly encompass the fraud claims asserted by Branch in his complaint. See C.R. Anthony Co. v. Loretto Mall Partners, 112 N.M. 504, 509-10, 817 P.2d 238, 243-44 (1991) (<HOLDING>). We note first that the Settlement Agreement,
holding as a general rule of contract law if no other meaning is reasonable the court shall rule as a matter of law that the meaning is established holding that ambiguity exists if the meaning of contractual terms cannot be deciphered from reading the entire instrument or if the terms are reasonably susceptible to more than one interpretation holding that where only one interpretation of contractual terms is possible a court may decide the meaning of those terms as a matter of law holding that where the language of the contract is unambiguous and conveys a definite meaning the court may decide the meaning of the contract as a matter of law holding that the repeated sending of a writing which contains certain standard terms without any action with respect to the issues addressed by those terms cannot constitute a course of dealing which would incorporate a term of the writing otherwise excluded under  2207 because the repeated exchange of forms by the parties only tells buyer that seller desires certain terms given sellers failure to obtain buyers express assent to these terms before it will ship the program buyer can reasonably believe that while seller desires certain terms it has agreed to do business on other terms those terms expressly agreed upon by the parties
