disagree  Erin Vinton: Semantically correct but not equivalent, not appropriate for a contract. ("what has been stated above" is a paraphrase/explanation; true equivalent is "the foregoing")

without prejudict to the foregoing


Explanation:
the first answer you got was not quite idiomatic "what has been provided" - as I recall. If you want to use it you should say "without prejudice to what is provided above"

the foregoing notwithstanding


Explanation:
I know the answer has already been accepted, but I would suggest that there is more than one way to translate legal boilerplate. The other suggestions do get the sense of the words, but we should also have an ear for English euphony when possible.
