1.3. Effect of definitions, notes and examples

(1) A definition in the AIFC Glossary also applies to any instructions or document made under these rules.

(2) A note in or to these rules is explanatory and is not part of these rules. However, examples and guidance are part of these rules.

(3) An example is not exhaustive, and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of these rules or a provision of these rules to which it relates.

(4) Unless the contrary intention appears, a reference in these rules to an accord, principle, standard or other similar instrument is a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
