parol

Said, not documented

Parol is a legal term meaning oral or verbal, as opposed to written.

A parol agreement is one made by spoken words rather than documented in writing.

The parol evidence rule restricts using oral statements to contradict or modify a written contract: The court excluded the parol evidence as inadmissible.

The word is distinct from parole, though both derive from the French word for speech.
