Common use of Prevailing Law Clause in Contracts

Prevailing Law. The Agreement, including the Appendices, is the result of the commercial negotiations carried out freely and in good faith between the Parties. It consequently expresses the agreement of the Parties and shall prevail over any negotiations, accords, agreements or documents prior to its signing for the same purpose. No document exchanged during the negotiations can justify the Parties’ being encumbered by obligations not expressly set forth and approved in the Agreement; no obligation appearing in the agreement may be supplemented nor, a fortiori, contradicted by a document exchanged during execution of the Agreement, specifically and without being limited thereto, invoices, commercial documents, letters and emails. No statement or document may create obligations not included in the Agreement, if they are not the subject of an addendum signed by the Parties, even if communicated previously or subsequently to the signing of the Agreement.
