Also called: Merger Clause, Integration Clause
A clause stating the written contract is the complete agreement, displacing earlier discussions and drafts.
Also called a merger or integration clause, it aims to prevent a party from relying on emails, slide decks or verbal assurances exchanged during negotiation.
Why it matters: a promise made during the sales process that never made it into the contract may be unenforceable once this clause is signed.
A definition can tell you what a term means. It cannot tell you what to do about your matter — that needs a licensed lawyer who knows the facts.
