It shall be understood that
"shall" is the most misused word in all of legal language
I hope I got it right here!
To correctly use "shall," confine it to the meaning "has a duty to" and use it to impose a duty on a capable actor. Bryan A. Garner, A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage 940–941 (2d ed., Oxford U. Press 1995).
In this case, the person interpreting the contract "has a duty to" use the listed definitions.

Shall or will?
The traditional rule in standard British English is that shall is used with first person pronouns (i.e. I and we) to form the future tense, while will is used with second and third person forms (i.e. you, he, she, it, they). For example:
I shall be late
They will not have enough food.

I am fully aware of what Manuel states yet I find it difficult to 'unlearn' grammatical rules that were drummed into me many years ago.
For this reason, I posted a second suggestion, in order to avoid the issue with will/shall.
