Standard-Form Contract Law and Legal Definition
A standard-form contract is otherwise known as standardized contract. Standard-form contract is usually a preprinted contract containing set clauses. Such contract is mostly used by a business or within a particular industry by making slight additions or modifications in order to meet the specific situation. Since a standard-form contract favors the drafting party, they can amount to adhesion contracts. Unforeseeable contingencies affecting performance, such as strikes, fire, and transportation difficulties can be taken care of with the help of standard-form contract.
