    Thus, as a matter of law, the Operating Agreement is an integrated agreement. Kimbrough v. Reed, 130 Idaho 512, 515, 943 P.2d 1232, 1235 (1997) (explaining that "a merger clause in an agreement is one means of proving the integrated character of a writing"). In Idaho, "extrinsic evidence of prior or contemporaneous negotiations or conversations" (i.e., parol evidence) is not admissible to contradict, vary, alter, add to, or detract from the terms of an integrated agreement.

Reed, 943 P.2d 1232, 1235 (Idaho 1997); Chambers v. Thomas, 844 P.2d 698, 701 (Idaho 1992).

  8. Watkins Co. v. Storms

    152 Idaho 531 (Idaho 2012)   Cited 11 times
    In Watkins, which dealt with what damages could be recovered from a lessor's breach of a lease, the plaintiff had " presented evidence that nearly $1,750,000 would be due in rent through the end of the term of the lease."

    The district court found that the lease agreement was not modified by consent and that the clause was enforceable. Here, there was no modification to the contract as there was no writing signed by both parties. “ ‘If the written agreement is complete upon its face and unambiguous, no fraud or mistake being alleged, extrinsic evidence of prior or contemporaneous negotiations or conversations is not admissible to contradict, vary, alter, add to or detract from the terms of the written contract.’ ” Kimbrough v. Reed, 130 Idaho 512, 515, 943 P.2d 1232, 1235 (1997) (quoting Valley Bank v. Christensen, 119 Idaho 496, 498, 808 P.2d 415, 417 (1991)).

  10. Barrett v. Barrett

    149 Idaho 21 (Idaho 2010)   Cited 10 times
    In Barrett, 149 Idaho 21, 232 P.3d 799, we considered a case where, in the course of refinancing her separate property, wife executed a quitclaim deed to herself and her husband as tenants by the entirety.

    This Court has long consistently held that a deed which is clear and unambiguous on its face cannot be challenged with parol evidence to show the intent of the parties. Howard v. Perry, 141 Idaho 139, 141-42, 106 P.3d 465, 467-68 (2005) (citing Kimbrough v. Reed, 130 Idaho 512, 515, 943 P.2d 1232, 1235 (1997)). I believe the magistrate court was entirely correct in its holding that this deed is clear and unambiguous on its face, which the majority does not dispute, and therefore parol evidence as to the intent of the grantor is inadmissible.
