for the avoidance of doubt
Explanation:
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the above provisions will [shall] not affect the validity of the tickets.

"Klarstellend feststellen" is just a formula which shouldn't be read too literally. The equivalent in Anglo-American legal jargon is "for the avoidance of doubt" .

See http://www.proz.com/kudoz/944034?keyword=avoidance where the English term was queried.
