Success The reader understands the Hidden Condition.

Failure The reader misunderstands the Hidden Condition and receives false information about it.

Critical Failure The reader misunderstands both the Hidden Condition and the Termination Clause, receiving false information about each.A mortal can try to renegotiate the contract; whether the devil agrees is up to the GM. The mortal must understand the Hidden Condition or Termination Clause to change the terms in their favor; the devil knows if the mortal misunderstands these clauses (from a failed Decipher Writing check) and if so usually plays along, knowing that any further agreements they make based on a misunderstood clause aren't binding and don't change the contract's effects.
