Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Spanish term or phrase: indefiniciones
One of the clauses in a turnkey construction contract:

1.1 Alcance de las obras
(describes the works to be carried out by the Contractor)

1.2 Exclusiones
(Describes the works the Contractor is not in charge of)

1.3 Indefiniciones
Respecto a las eventuales indefiniciones que pudiera tener el alcance del presente Contrato, el Contratista manifiesta expresamente conocer y aceptar el carácter de “llave en mano” del Contrato, por lo que se entenderá que están incluidos en las Obras todos los suministros, actuaciones y servicios necesarios, salvo aquellos expresamente excluidos en la Cláusula 1.2, sin que las eventuales indefiniciones puedan en ningún caso suponer aumento de precio, que se ha de entender fijo y no revisable durante toda la vida del Contrato, ni extensión de los plazos para la ejecución de las Obras

undefined aspects
Explanation:
it seems to me that things may come up in the course of the contract that weren't defined under contract - not so much due to ambiguity as to failure to define them.
