attributing to the doubtful ones that sense which may result from all of them taken
jointly. (1285)
Article 1375. Words which may have different significations shall be understood in
that which is most in keeping with the nature and object of the contract. (1286)
Article 1376. The usage or custom of the place shall be borne in mind in the
interpretation of the ambiguities of a contract, and shall fill the omission of
stipulations which are ordinarily established. (1287)
Article 1377. The interpretation of obscure words or stipulations in a contract shall
not favor the party who caused the obscurity. (1288)
Article 1378. When it is absolutely impossible to settle doubts by the rules
established in the preceding articles, and the doubts refer to incidental
circumstances of a gratuitous contract, the least transmission of rights and interests
shall prevail. If the contract is onerous, the doubt shall be settled in favor of the
greatest reciprocity of interests.
If the doubts are cast upon the principal object of the contract in such a way that it
cannot be known what may have been the intention or will of the parties, the
contract shall be null and void. (1289)
