解释权

English translation: Right of Interpretation

Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Chinese term or phrase: 解释权
The excerpt
"合约终止:
有下列情事之一者,甲乙双方有权解除本合约:
...
因甲方未付清款项,乙方拥有解释权。"

What is 解释权 in this context? It seems that it's not the "right to interprete", as we are speaking about the possible reasons to cancel the agreement. Does it mean 合约解除权?

Thanks,

English translation:Right of Interpretation
Explanation:
It means the right to interpret the terms as you like. It is written so that one party can have advantage over the other when disputes arise. It is almost a unique Chinese term. Furthermore, even in China, the person who is supposed to have the "right of interpretation" cannot interpret anyway they like, because they have to follow the general rules of the law. Therefore to some extent the clause is meaningless.
