The parol evidence rule states that when a contract is unambiguous, any evidence of contemporaneous statements outside of the written contract are inadmissible in court. This rule helps to ensure that the written contract is the final and authoritative expression of the parties' intent, and prevents evidence of prior oral or written agreements from altering the terms of the written contract. The statute of frauds is a separate rule that requires certain types of contracts to be in writing in order to be enforceable, such as contracts for the sale of land or contracts for goods over a certain dollar amount.
