When parties intend their written contract to be a final statement of the terms of their agreement, any evidence that contradicts the written terms will most likely be excluded by a court. This is known as the parol evidence rule. Therefore, if Dill presents evidence that contradicts the terms stated in the written contract, the court will likely exclude such evidence.
