how can good boilerplate tersm and conditions of contract still fail to protect an orgnaization against some risk

Answer 1

Answer:

A boilerplate terms and conditions of contract are used for efficiency and to increase standardization in the contract’s structure and language. These are important to address a range of things such as what happens if a document is declared unenforceable, how disputes will be resolved between two parties and, which laws govern the contract, etc. The purpose of boilerplate’s terms and conditions is to protect the interest of all parties that sign the contract.

Boilerplate terms and conditions hold the company in good stead most of the times. But different companies have different styles of working, different vendors and are faced with different challenges on a day-to-day basis. Based on these parameters, some level of customization is needed in the terms and conditions of the company. Moreover, the company cannot control the external factors and they are the major sources of risk.  Because of the high volatility of external factors, companies following boilerplate terms and conditions are risk-prone.
