  -> Thanks! i did not complete as it seems his doubt is with "expressely agreed"
agree  Richard McDorman: In legal documents, I find that it's usually better not to restructure the syntax, if it can be avoided.

  -> Thanks Richard, I think what Robert is looking for is an alternate way of saying "expressely agreed".

Explanation:
I think "expressly" is used more often than "explicitly" and, using 'expressly' may seem too literal but, in all likelihood, this is a back translation. that is, this is likely boilerplate translated from English into Spanish and being re-translated into English.
