I question the use of the word “contractural” vs “contractual” here - per the 
OED, “contractural” has two definitions, one of which is medical, the other 
being “another term for ‘contractual’”*. So while the proposed language is 
technically correct, I feel that I will not be the first or the last person to 
think this might be a typo. I'd recommend changing that word, but otherwise 
support as written.

Thanks,

-Chris
