Translate a Legal Clause Into Plain English for Your Team

The clause is three lines of legal phrasing buried in a document nobody on the team has fully read, and somebody just asked what it means. This translates it into plain English, says who it applies to and what happens if it is ignored, and flags anything genuinely ambiguous rather than guessing at a legal answer.

2. Explain who it applies to and under what circumstances
