Boilerplate Law and Legal Definition. Boilerplate refers to the standardized, formal language in a contract or legal document that is often located in fine print at the bottom of a page. A person is bound by the terms in the boilerplate language upon signing the document, even if the person didn't read it. This has led to the voiding of contracts in some instances based upon mistake of fact.
The plain meaning of the document represents the unequivocal intention of the contracting parties. The supposedly unequivocal presumption regarding boilerplate language is really a question of fact. In the context of a lengthy agreement, inconsistencies and ambiguities may develop between competing clauses.
