The parol evidence rule generally prohibits the introduction of evidence outside the contents of a written contract to add to, modify, or contradict the terms of the contract. However, it does not apply in situations where there is a typographical error that clearly does not reflect the agreement of the parties or when there is evidence showing that one of the parties lacked the capacity to contract. These exceptions allow for the correction of mistakes and the enforcement of laws regarding contractual capacity, ensuring that contracts are fair and accurately reflect the intentions of the parties involved.
