ketentuan

Ketentuan is an Indonesian noun that refers to provisions, stipulations, or terms and conditions within a rule, regulation, contract, or policy. It designates specific requirements or rules that must be followed or observed.

In legal and administrative contexts, ketentuan appears as part of a larger document, often as clauses or articles within a law, regulation, contract, or guideline. It can define rights, obligations, limitations, procedures, or criteria, and may be organized under headings such as ketentuan umum (general provisions), ketentuan pelaksanaan (implementing provisions), or ketentuan teknis (technical provisions).

Common collocations include syarat dan ketentuan (terms and conditions), ketentuan mengenai, or ketentuan yang mengatur. The term is used in both formal legal texts and everyday language when referring to contractual obligations, service policies, or policy rules.

Ketentuan relates to other terms such as peraturan and undang-undang, but with a distinct nuance. Ketentuan usually denotes the content or specific rules within a larger rule or law, whereas peraturan refers to the regulating instrument issued by authorities, and undang-undang denotes enacted legislation. Interpreting ketentuan may involve examining its consistency with higher laws, the context of the document, and its applicability to particular cases.
