What is a merger clause?

A merger clause is a legal term that is commonly used in contract law in Colorado. It is a clause in a contract that states that the written contract is the only agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements or understanding between the parties. The purpose of this clause is to ensure that all parties to the contract understand that any prior agreements that have been made will no longer apply to the contract. This clause also protects the parties from any future misunderstandings arising from any misunderstandings about the contractual agreement. In short, it is a way for both parties to agree that the written contract is the only agreement between them and is binding.
