acuerdo completo
Definition
This is a Spanish phrase that translates to 'entire agreement' or 'whole agreement' in English, and it refers to a standard contract clause stating that the written contract is the complete and final agreement between the parties. This clause means that any promises, conversations, or negotiations that happened before signing the contract do not count as part of the deal. Only what is written in the signed document is legally binding.
Example
If you negotiated a lease and the landlord verbally promised to include free parking, but the final written contract contains an 'acuerdo completo' clause and does not mention parking, you cannot later sue the landlord for breaking that verbal promise.
Watch Out
Always make sure every promise and agreement you negotiated is written into the contract before you sign, because this clause will legally erase anything that was said but not written down.
