What is an "express provision"?

Question

The text says:
"Sub Article 5 shall take effect subject to any express provision in the contract...."

Answer 1

In layman's terms it is a specific stipulation written into an agreement/contract.

For example, say you put a piece of real estate under contract. You could add an express provision that gets you out of that contract under a certain circumstance.

Btw, some states recognize verbal express provisions as long as there is ample proof of them... ie, witnesses.

Answer 2

An express provision is one that is expressed (written) in the contract.
As opposed to an implied or assumed provision.
