The fact pattern states that the parties intended their written contract to be a final statement of most, but not all, of the terms of their agreement. Therefore, if additional terms are consistent with the written contract, they will likely be admitted as evidence. Ambiguous or contradictory additional terms may not be admitted as evidence, and fraudulent terms would not be admissible.
