I don't see anything wrong with this standard contract language. All it means is that they will all retain the documents necessary to enable the Contractor to do his work.
Irene N (asker) Jun 25, 2007:
The best way to weasel out in Russian is to read English in the present continuous tense - all info and docs enabling CONTRACTOR to... Would such interpretation be correct?
Irene N (asker) Jun 25, 2007:
"shall enable" 6 years after the work is done... Is it a good English, even for a legal English:-)?
Irene N (asker) Jun 25, 2007:
My fault - I ccidentally dropped the first part of the context where "6 years after" get me even more confused. Here it is
The obligations of CONTRACTOR set forth above shall exist for a period of six (6) years commencing with the date of CONTRACTOR's final statement for the specific WORK ORDER under the CONTRACT,
Irene N (asker) Jun 25, 2007:
Possibly refrasing the part in asterics to make better sense. Am I correct reading it as "WHICH shall enable" or "to enable", for example. I'm confused...

This is what these three words mean in this context, in my opinion.

In other words, the Contractor will keep all information, including the documents relating to the activities, in order to comply with the obligations of the contract, as long as the documents and information he keeps actually facilitate his obligations in this respect.

This implies that if there is documentation, and/or information that is extraneous to his contractual obligations, he is not required to keep it.
Something went wrong...
