COMPLETE MASTER CONTRACT Clause Samples
The COMPLETE MASTER CONTRACT clause establishes that the written contract represents the full and final agreement between the parties, superseding all prior negotiations, discussions, or understandings. In practice, this means that only the terms contained within the contract are legally binding, and any previous verbal or written agreements not included in the document are not enforceable. This clause ensures clarity and certainty by preventing either party from later claiming that additional terms or promises were part of the agreement, thereby reducing the risk of disputes over what was agreed upon.
COMPLETE MASTER CONTRACT. The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted in this Master Contract, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, and that the understandings and agreement arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity are set forth in this Master Contract. Therefore, the employer and the Association, for the life of this Master Contract, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waive the right, and each agree that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to any subject or matter referred to or covered by this Master Contract, or with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to or covered by this Master Contract; unless the parties, by supplemental written agreement hereto, mutually agree to conduct additional bargaining on said subjects or matters. This provision shall not affect the bargaining of a successor Master Contract. This Master Contract sets forth the full and complete understandings of the parties hereto and cancels and supersedes any and all agreements and contracts heretofore entered into between the parties.
