CC. Combining different types of real estate (commercial and residential) in one transaction
DD. The integration of multiple buyer contingencies into a single deadline
Explanation
An integrated contract is the final, complete written agreement that supersedes all prior oral or written negotiations. The parol evidence rule prevents introducing prior representations to vary an integrated contract. In Hawaii real estate, all agreed terms must be in the final written contract—verbal side agreements are unenforceable if the contract contains an integration clause.
