In this sentence, "which" means either of "terms" and "agreements"?
I seem to understand the meaning of the following sentence. But I cannot be sure that I fully understood it.
I received two documents. One is "Agreement" and the other is an explanation of terms used in "Agreement".
Is there someone who can help me with more simple sentence composition and easier words?

In addition,
in this sentence, does "which" refer to either of "terms" or "agreements"? does "terms" mean either of conditions or words?
------
the Agreement shall be supplemented with the following terms, which shall take precedence over any inconsistent terms in the Agreement:

Many Thanks!!

Answer

'which' refers to / replaces 'terms'. You could rewrite it like this: ...supplemented with the following terms. These terms shall take precedence...
'Terms' is ambiguous, and could mean either definitions, or conditions (and possibly both). I could not be sure which one it means, without seeing the wording of the terms document.

Answer

Which is referring to terms here and it means words in this context. So they are giving you a list of words and definitions (I'm assuming) and those take precendence in case of inconsistencies between the documents. I hope that simplifies things.
