Tech/Engineering - Law: Contract(s) / Contract
Spanish term or phrase: No obstante lo anterior
El personal y equipo a utilzar por el contratista debe contar con una certificación vigente que garantice la calibración de los equipos y la idoneidad del personal. Estos documentos deben ser entregados a la inspección para su aceptación previo al inicio de las actividades de dragado.

No obstante lo anterior, el contratante se reserva el derecho de efectuar los levantamiento batimétricos que estime necesarios ya sea con su propio equipo y personal o a través de la contratación de terceros, con todo el próposito de verificar los levantamientos.

"No obstante lo anterior" no sé, como que si no me suena técnico, por el contexto puedo traducirlo como "Without prejudice to the foregoing, the foregoing notwithstanding"

Agradezco cualquier aporte.
