Ambiguity in a contract happens when there is a term, or set of terms, that are not defined, that can be construed to have more than one meaning (hence the ambiguity in the contract). When this happens, the ambiguity is construed against the drafter of the contract since it was the party that drafted the contract. The drafter of the contract had the opportunity to define each of the terms in the contract before presenting it to the other party to execute. The person agreeing to the contract that is not the drafter often does not have the ability to alter the contractual terms or definitions contained in the contract. Further, the drafter of the contract often is the "savvy business person" or "savvy business entity" that use contracts all the time.
To get around this, often a drafter will put a section in the contract that states that each party to the contract assisted in drafting the contract, which will help the drafter make the argument that the potential for an ambiguity being construed against the drafter is eliminated.

What is patent amibiguilty what is latent amibiguilty when can evidence be given to resolve any such amibiguilty explian?
Patent ambiguity refers to language in a contract or legal document that is unclear on its face, making it impossible to determine the parties' intentions without further context. Latent ambiguity, on the other hand, arises when the language appears clear initially but becomes ambiguous when applied to specific circumstances or facts. Evidence can be introduced to resolve either type of ambiguity; however, patent ambiguity typically allows for extrinsic evidence to clarify intent immediately, while latent ambiguity requires context or additional facts that reveal the ambiguity before extrinsic evidence can be considered.
