Should be foregoing

Forgoing means going without. Foregoing means what has gone before, in this case the part of the document before this sentence.
Note from asker:
do you have legal translations using this term the way I was sued to spell...what I need to know is the way how I should place that sentence...

Thank you.
neutral Demi Ebrite : forgoing is a noun, foregoing is an adj.

Forgoing is not a noun, it is the present participle of the verb to forgo, to go without. The foregoing, as used here, is a noun, not an adjective.

Thank you, Robert - I just addressed that - they are both correct spellings, but Jack's is superior unless the asker was directed to use the word minus the 'e'
disagree cmwilliams (X) : only 'foregoing' is appropriate in this context - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/foregoing

Thank you, cmwilliams; I have contracts in my posession written exactly as the asker states, but no URL validation - I don't believe she is asking which sp., I think she is asking if the word 'forgoing' is placed correctly in the sentence.
