What is referred to as standard language or clauses used in a legal contract?

The term "boilerplate" refers specifically to the standardized language or clauses that are commonly found in legal contracts. These provisions are often repeated across many different contracts and are not typically negotiated or altered. Boilerplate clauses cover essential aspects such as definitions, governing law, dispute resolution, and liability, among others. Their use promotes efficiency and consistency in contract drafting, making it easier for parties to understand their rights and obligations without having to negotiate each term from scratch.

In contrast, the other terms do not accurately convey the concept of standardized legal language. Colloquium generally refers to a formal meeting or discussion, settled language does not have a recognized legal definition in this context, and orderly pertains to organization or arrangement, which does not specifically relate to contractual language. Thus, boilerplate is the most fitting term for standard clauses used in legal agreements.
