Consistent additional terms would be admissible as evidence, as they would suggest that the disputed terms were agreed upon by the parties as part of the deal. Ambiguous or contradictory terms may not provide clear evidence of the parties' intentions, while fraudulent terms would not be admissible as evidence.
