Boilerplate

Breach of Trust

Slang for provisions in a contract, form or legal pleading which are apparently routine and often preprinted. the term comes from an old method of printing. today “boilerplate” is commonly stored in computer memory to be retrieved and copied when needed. a layperson should beware that the party supplying the boilerplate form usually has developed supposedly “standard” terms (some of which may not apply to every situation) to favor and/or protect the provider.
