Common use of EMBODIMENT Clause in Contracts

EMBODIMENT. The Agreement expressed herein, in writing, constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and no oral statement shall add to or supersede any of its provisions. The parties acknowledge that during the bargaining which preceded this Agreement, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed by law from the area of collective bargaining and that the understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties, after the exercise of that right and opportunity, are set forth in this Agreement. Therefore the District and the Association, for the life of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waive the right, and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to any subject or matter referred to, except as provided or covered in the last paragraph of Article VII, Section 1, or covered in this Agreement or with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to, or not settled, during bargaining, even though such object or matter may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the same time they negotiated or signed this Agreement. Such matters shall not be subject to the Grievance Procedure. This signed document comprises the only duly recognized alterations and agreed upon changes to the Certificated Master Contract between the Newport Associated Teachers and the Newport School District.
