exception in contract

exception in contract
Something omitted from the operation of the contract in reference to the subject matter. As the word is frequently used in contracts, it usually indicates that something is taken out from the principal matter provided for in the clause or paragraph in which the word is found, and not that something is taken out of or changed from other provisions in other clauses of the entire contract.
