Merger clause
A merger clause (a.k.a. integration clause) prevents a party from claiming the contract does not reflect the complete understanding of the parties after the contract was formed. Parties often attempt to do this by relying on pre-contract negotiations or oral agreements after the contract is formed. The merger clause ensures that the written contract is the complete agreement between the parties. A typical merger clause will say, "This agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties." - See more at: http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/merger-clause-lawyers.html#sthash.u7D5Ieok.dpuf
