Entire Agreement Clause

An entire agreement clause states that the named documents are the whole of the contract and that nothing said outside them forms part of it. In a trading relationship the things it puts outside are the ones people remember best: a promise made on a sales call, an assurance in support chat, a figure on a marketing page, a comparison in an advertisement. The clause does not say those statements were not made; it says the contract is not built out of them. It has a limit worth knowing. Such clauses generally cannot exclude responsibility for a statement made to induce someone into the contract in the first place, but establishing that is a legal question decided under the governing law rather than something settled by producing a chat transcript. The practical consequence is simpler than the law: anything relied on should be in the documents the clause names before the account is funded, because afterwards the clause has already decided which sentences count.
