standard terms

Typical contract language

Standard terms are the usual or default provisions in a contract, agreement, or legal document—the boilerplate that applies unless parties negotiate otherwise.

The lease included standard terms for security deposits and late fees.

In business contexts, standard terms often favor the party who drafted them, which is why lawyers advise clients to read them carefully.
