Contract Interpretation-Language Governs-Civ. Code, § 1638
(San Joaquin Cty. v. WCAB)

The language of a contract governs its interpretation, if the

be so interpreted as to give effect to the mutual intention of
the parties as it existed at the time of contracting, so far
as the same is ascertainable and lawful.”  (Id., § 1636;
See 1 Witkin, Summary of Cal. Law (9th ed. 1987)
Contracts, § 684, p. 617.)
