If a contract is deemed to be vague or have more than one meaning the party that wrote said contract is held responsible.
For example, I used to have my store in the local mall. The mall sent me a certified letter telling me I was in violation of my lease and if I did not stop violating said lease they would shut me down. When I started my business, I was doing mostly repairs. As my business grew I started adding more merchandise. Note I said more merchandise. Even at the beginning I was selling jewelry. One of the other jewelry stores complained and the mall issued the letter without reading the lease.
I reread my lease to make sure I was not violating my lease and then sued the mall. The mall lost because the lease did not exclude me from selling merchandise and since they wrote the lease they did not have a case. By then I was tired of having a mall store and used the lawsuit to get out of my lease and open a free standing store.
