Identify at least six situations in which the parol evidence rule does not apply
The text identifies eight situations in which the parol evidence rule does not apply: (a) a contract that is partly written and partly oral (the parties do not intend the writing to be their entire agreement); (b) a clerical or typographical error that obviously does not represent the agreement of the parties; (c) the lack of contractual capacity of one of the parties; (d) a defense of fraud, misrepresentation, duress, undue influence, mistake, illegality, lack of consideration, or other invalidating cause; (e) a condition precedent to which the parties agreed orally at the time of the execution of the written agreement and to which the entire agreement was made subject; (f) a subsequent mutual rescission or modification of the written contract; (g) parol evidence is admissible to explain ambiguous terms in the contract; and (h) the rule does not prevent a party from proving the existence of a separate, distinct contract between the same parties.
