The parol evidence rule states that when parties have reduced their agreement to a written document that they intended to be the complete and final expression of all their agreements, evidence of prior or contemporaneous oral agreements may not be admitted to vary, contradict, or modify the terms of the written contract. Therefore, oral terms discussed between the parties cannot be introduced into court because of the parol evidence rule.
