Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Real Estate / Lease Agreement

Chinese term or phrase: Ϊ׼

本合同以中文版本为准，若有附于本合同之英文课本仅供参考。

I usually translate "为准" as "... as reference", but I'm stuck in this case since "参考" is also translated as "... as/for reference". Can anyone suggest a better way of translating "为准" here?

It seems a lot of contracts, insurance policies and legal documents use this exact phrase.
