SPESIELLE BETINGELSER. TRINNHØYDEBESTEMMELSE
Trinnhøyde: Avtalen består av Vilkårene og vedleggene...
I think they used a very complex legal term from WW2 in a simple contract,
where they mean order of priority for documents in a contract.
Any suggestions?
Only 2 google hits of course!

lex superior clause
a guess - but your explanation is certainly correct

(AmE) Order of precedence clause > (BrE) Priority of Documents
I agree with the asker's answer, except the US spin - pace Charles E. - might be different from the UK one where the extension of 'provision' would - to my knowledge and in my experience - be unusual.

priority provision
Ordnett uses "trinnhøyde" in discussing Norges grunnlov: "I overensstemmelse med lex superior-prinsippet har Grunnloven, sammen med konstitusjonell sedvanerett, trinnhøyde over alle andre lover."

Probably better as "priority clause".

Discussion
The concept (read "Kelsen model") is is restricted to constitutional law and similar - not to simple sales contracts! (prioritert rekkefølge i avtaledokumenter)
I get the feeling the persons who wrote this contract went a bit far...
