Did you hear variants of that joke when you were a kid that went like, "I looked up ugly in the dictionary, and I saw your picture..."
Since the language "repugnant to," appeared several times in the agreement, I assumed it was a standard legal language in the country of origin.
To be sure, I googled the phrase "Repugnant to" including the quotation marks."
Guess whose picture showed up...

his "good people on both sides" of Charlottesville crap, and Merriam-Webster made a post explaining it, since many had looked it up:
Lookups spike following a Trump speech clarifying his position on racist violence over the past weekend.

President Donald Trump bowed to overwhelming pressure that he personally condemn white supremacists who incited bloody demonstrations in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend labeling their racists views evil after two days of equivocal statements.
Racism is evil, Mr. Trump said. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the K.K.K., neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.
