more or less

more or less. (Of a quantity) larger or smaller. • This phrase often appears in deeds (the property contains 120 acres, more or less) and sometimes in contracts (seller’s wheat field will produce 50 bushels per acre, more or less). It qualifies a good-faith representation of quantity. By using the phrase, the parties mutually acknowledge that the true circumstances may differ from what the parties believe they are when the contract is made, and accept a risk that the true quantity will be slightly different. When the qualifying phrase is present, neither party can recover for a surplus or deficiency.
