Answer to Question 1

Vagueness occurs when the parties do not want the contract to be clear. They want to keep their options open, so they don't clearly define some terms.

Ambiguity is different --- it means that the provision is accidentally unclear. It occurs in contracts when the parties think only about what they want a provision to mean, without considering the literal meaning or the other side's perspective. Any ambiguity is interpreted against the drafter of the contract.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
