Dear Sir,
It is commonsense that nobody can put such a clause in any agreement. It is like committing even if he commits robbery you should not go to court. such clauses even if exists cannot prevent you to approach the Court. Your legal right cannot be curtailed by any agreement.

Why did you agree to such term of contract, it is not compulsory for either of you to agree. Deny.
Consult a local lawyer for proper analyses and guidance.

Any guess may prove wrong without going through the conditions of agreement. Probability of 50:50 cannot be denied without examination and analysis of the terms of agreement.
To get appropriate advice, show your agreement to some local expert on property matters.
