   AS>> In accordance with the Agreement for Foo Services,   
   AS>> CompanyOne (C1) and CompanyTwo (C2) agree to the   
   AS>> termination of the 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 Foo Solution   
   AS>> Agreement between CompanyTwo and CompanyOne ("the   
   AS>> Agreement") pursuant to CompanyTwo's decision effective   
   AS>> 2023.02.24.   
      
   DH> The termination will take effect ("become effective") on   
   DH> 2023.2.24.   
      
   I failed to understand it, having thought that `effective'   
   modified `dicision' rather than `termination' -- a word an   
   hundred miles back up the road.   
      
   AH> This is a fairly standard legal phrase meaning "will   
   AH> take effect on".  All legal documents appear to be   
   AH> written in the most obtuse language possible. I think it   
   AH> so that everything is open to interpretation, thus   
   AH> leaving the door open for future (profitable)   
   AH> litigation!!   
      
   Yeah, an esoteric langugage of the legal mafia, to keep the   
   laymen at a distance.  Thank you for the answer.
