Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Swedish term or phrase: vid sidan av avtalet
Köparen förbehåller sig rätten att vid sidan av avtalet under begrän¬sad tid prova nya och alternativa produkter med motsvarande funktion från annan leverantör. Om köparen provar produkter enligt denna punkt ska berörda avtalsleverantörer informeras om detta.

Such a simple thing and yet I cannot find a good solution.

notwithstanding (the provisions)
Explanation:
There are several ways to use this term, but your context is necessary. This reads like an exception to an exclusive agreement of some kind. So this is saying that 'notwithstanding' the provisions of clause X' (or 'this contract') the buyer can do these specific things.

Here's a reference http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/N/Notwithstanding.asp...

But don't get stuck in the 'notwithstanding clause' of the Canadian constitution -- This wasn't part of my US legal education.

agree  Charlesp: This is the best, and most understandable, term that could be used here, if one doesn't mind using a non-literal translation (which often, by the way, can be the way to go). P.S. Congratulations on the points; well deserved!

alongside the agreement


Explanation:
"alongside" is a close literally as you could get.

As the original means 'within the agreement but perhaps contrary to the interests of the other party...'
