klauzule

Klauzule is the plural form of klauzula and is used in Polish to denote a provision, clause, or condition contained in a document. In everyday legal contexts, the term refers to individual provisions that govern rights, duties, exceptions, or remedies within contracts, statutes, or terms of service. They are used to allocate risk, specify obligations, clarify remedies, and limit liability. Some klauzule are mandatory under law; others are negotiable and may vary by jurisdiction or the specifics of the agreement. Common examples include governing law clauses, arbitration or dispute-resolution clauses, force majeure clauses, confidentiality or non-disclosure clauses, non-compete or non-solicitation clauses, indemnity clauses, and limitation of liability clauses. The precise wording of a klauzula determines its enforceability and scope, and drafting attention is paid to ambiguity, consistency with other provisions, and compliance with applicable regulation.

In logic and computer science, klauzule also denote clauses: a clause is a disjunction of literals that forms part of a formula in conjunctive normal form. They are the basic units in the resolution principle, automated theorem proving, and logic programming. For example, (A ∨ ¬B ∨ C) is a clause; a set of clauses forms a CNF theory. Operations such as resolution derive new clauses to test satisfiability. The term is used in Polish literature on logic and computer science.
