I understand that "ter" is used in addresses and musical refrains but in a contract or law, does it stand for "third paragraph? I'm at a loss for this one...thanks!

English translation:"ter"
Explanation:
"ter" is Latin for "three times"

It corresponds to the third paragraph or sentence or section or whatever subdivision is applicable.

Since it is Latin, you could leave it as it is, or you could possibly write in "third paragraph" or sentence or section or whatever subdivision is applicable.

or "[third clause]," or "[third line]." If it is on a separate line and is a complete sentence, lawyers may refer to it as a "paragraph." I would probably leave it as "ter" however, and maybe add "[third paragraph]" in brackets. I would not write in "c" if there is no "c" in the original. And even if there is, "ter" does not necessarily always refer to "c." If the first part is simply "45," followed by "45(a)," then "45(b)" then "ter" would refer to the third part: "45(b)." If the first part is called "a" in the original, followed by "b" and "c," then "c" would be third.

neutral  Tony M: It's in effect '45 c' — the third one of whatever '45' is, but I doubt that is actually a para.
