Following a list of items describing all the powers conferred upon the Gérant:
Cette énumération est exemplative et non exhaustive.
I know that the list is not necessarily complete, but does "exemplative" means that the list includes just "examples" of the powers? Or what is the meaning of this one word? TIA.

: Strictly speaking you are right, but people tend to interpret the word as meaning something like "ideal", so it may be best avoided as a non-exhaustive list cannot be ideal. Sometimes dictionaries do not tell the full story.

: agree with Charlie. strictly speaking, this is one of the word's meanings, but most people think of "Serving as a desirable model; very good" (oxforddictionaries.com)
