Thanks for answering! =)

Here is an example of the "value" of the legal expression. The meaning of the sentence is not hard to understand, so they express it with unusual words and wording so that it does become more difficult. If everything were easy to understand there would not be so much motivation to hire them. "Warranties and other provisions of the Agreement" You probably understand this. It just is a convoluted way of saying "The Agreement" "In so far as the same shall not have been performed at Completion" Is a convoluted way of saying "if they have not been carried out by the time of Completion". "Shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion" Is a convoluted way of saying "are still valid or in force after Completion". I am not sure what the "Completion" is they are referring to, but it is probably evident to you. Yes, that was a difficult sentence. It could be rephrased as "The points of the agreement are still valid and in force after Completion", but then you would not feel such a great need to hire a lawyer, or feel in such "awe" of them. Basically a lot of what they do is pretty simple, so they hide the simplicity behind strange, convoluted wording to make it seem like they are doing something more difficult, and more worth the money you pay them.

Kelly, The Warranties ....written guarantees and all other provisions.....conditions and requirements of this Agreement.........of this contract in so far as....to the degree that the same......The Warranties and all other provisions of this Agreement shall not.....will not be performed.......be carried out, be done at Completion ........"Contractual Completion Date" means the date by which Contractor is required to achieve Completion, which is the date stated on the Contract Agreement. (The Warranties and all other provisions of this Agreement) shall be.....will be in full force and effect....legally effective and binding notwithstanding......despite Completion......the date of Completion It basically says that if the provisions of the contract have not been satisfied by the date of Completion, then the contract remains legally binding after the date of Completion has passed. For example, if A agrees to build a house by December, but does not finish building the house by December, then A is still bound by the contract to finish the house after December.
