Whomever plays the role of the lender dictates the term to their advantage. It is known, Khalissi

So said/say/will say we all.

But if the lender's terms are open for interpretation, they will be interpreted to the borrower's advantage. It's the law!

When you re-read the terms you signed and realize which end of relativity you were experiencing.

The one which has negotiated a better deal, of course.
