A so-ordered stipulation is a contract between the parties thereto and, as such, is binding on them and will be construed in accordance with contract principles and the parties' intent. When an agreement between parties is clear and unambiguous on its face, it will be enforced according to its terms and without resort to extrinsic evidence.
