Solution

The exceptions to the parol evidence rule include:

  1. Contracts that have been subsequently modified: The parol evidence rule does not apply when the parties have changed the terms of the contract after it was written. This means that if there is evidence of a later agreement that changes the terms of the written contract, this evidence can be admitted in court to prove the modification.

  2. Contracts with ambiguous terms: If the terms of the contract are unclear or ambiguous, then external evidence (parol evidence) can be used to clarify the meaning of these terms. This is an exception to the parol evidence rule because it allows evidence outside of the written contract to be used to interpret the contract.

Contracts that are no longer profitable to both parties and contracts that deal with international issues are not exceptions to the parol evidence rule. The profitability of a contract or its international nature does not affect the application of the parol evidence rule.
