2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[contracts often contain an integration clause, specific language establishing that such agreement is the final and complete expression of the agreement. An integration clause ensures that the written contract, if unambiguous, is held to express all of the negotiations, conversations, and agreements made prior to its execution, and neither oral testimony, nor prior written agreements, or other writings, are admissible to explain or vary the terms of the contract.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“This agreement contains the whole Agreement between Seller and Buyer, and there are no other terms, obligations, covenants, representations, statements or conditions, oral or otherwise, of any kind whatsoever concerning this sale. This Agreement will not be altered, amended, changed or modified except in writing executed by the parties.”
