That which is expressed puts an end to that which is implied.

Explanation

When parties reduce their agreement to express terms, no implication inconsistent with those terms may be raised; the express provision governs.

Where this applies

• We wrote specific terms into the contract so no conflicting implication should override them.
• The express provisions of our agreement replace any implied terms that would conflict.
• Once something is spelled out in writing, you can't imply something different.
