Japanese term

その趣旨に反しない限り

Japanese to English Other Other
Context: 本合意書並びに地位譲渡の契約書に定めのない事項および疑義ある事項は、その趣旨に反しない限り、原契約に定めるところに従う。

I do not know what その趣旨 refers to.

provided they do not contradict the spirit of this agreement or the contract on transfer of standing

I'd do this as something like... "Matters not stipulated in this agreement or the contract on transfer of standing and matters subject to question shall be governed by the stipulations of the original contract, provided they do not contradict the spirit of this agreement or the contract on transfer of standing"

その趣旨 refers to the spirit (or intent) of the first two agreements, and I'd mention the two agreements again (as a translation of その) because otherwise it's ambiguous.

Unless it is in violation (contradictory) to the object

In this case その趣旨 refers to the object.

It may be better to use "provided they do not infringe upon the spirit and intent of this agreement..."
(Sorry, intentions would not be right in this kind of wording!)
