How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• The Court “must accept an interpretation of the contract that harmonizes its provisions, rather than one that places the provisions in conflict.” (citation omitted)
• “If . . . a contract is ambiguous, its meaning must be determined by examining extrinsic evidence and its construction is a matter for the fact finder.”
• “We read the contract as a whole and will attempt to construe the contractual language so as not to render any words, phrases, or terms ineffective or meaningless.”
