de acuerdo con lo establecido expresamente en el contrato


Explanation:
In agreements, contracts and documents of the like, it is usual to see dicothomy between expreso and tácito . That is, between what the document literally states and what may be inferred from it.


Example sentence(s):
  • . . . a excepción de los que se vean expresamente limitados por el contenido del fallo condenatorio . . . (Constitución Española, art. 25)
  • . . . y ejerce las funciones que le atribuyen expresamente la Constitución y las leyes . . . (Constitución Española, art. 56)
