All other matters (or: matters as to which this document or silent) shall be governed by the law.


Explanation:
The idea is that parties are free to establish in a contract their own rules governing the relationship between them, but if they fail to provide for a certain eventuality (in other words, their contract is silent with regard to that), then the default legal provisions kick in. There is a distinction between "mandatory legal provisions" (which parties are not free to contract out of) and "non-mandatory legal provisions (which do not kick in unless the parties have failed to establish rules in that regard in their contract). Is this as clear as mud?
