Question

Ralph is a professional football player. He signs a valid contract with the Miami Dolphins. Later, he claims that he was also promised free use of the Dolphins’ private jet, but this was not in the contract. What type of clause in his contract would prevent him from flying away with this claim?

a. A complete agreement clause

b. An integration clause

c. A “no additional terms” clause

d. A severability clause

Answer 1

An integration clause in his contract would prevent him from flying away with this claim. An integartion clause in a contract is a provision in a contract which states that the contract represents the full and final agreement between the parties and is above all the other contracts, either written or oral, which are on the same subject. The objective of integration clause is to prevent any of the parties from later claiming that whatever is written in the contract is different from what they agreed upon. So if there is an integration clause in the contract between Ralph and Miami Dolphins and it is not mentioned in the contract that Ralph can fly for free with Dolphin's private jet, then Ralph cannot claim this later and use the private jet for free.

Hence the correct option is b.
