Try swtiching the word order round and/or using verbs instead of nouns.
"Aucune stipulation du contrat et autre ne peuvent faire échec au droit au renouvellement en vertu de l’article 123 alinéa 2 du traité OHADA relatif au Droit Commercial Général".
"Nothing that is stipulated in the contract, nor (any) other (contractual) provision, may prevent ..."
"Under the provisions of article 123 etc., ..."
These can be improved upon, but it should help get you started.

may waive the right to
If you want legalese, this is a common way it can be said in US leases.
"Aucune stipulation du contrat et autre ne peuvent faire échec au droit au renouvellement en vertu de l’article 123" = "No contractual or other stipulation may waive the right to renewal set forth in article 123..."
"Aucune stipulation du contrat et autre ne peuvent faire échec au droit au renouvellement en vertu de l’article 123" = "No contractual or other stipulation may waive the right to renewal set forth in article 123..."

Discussion
"Faire échec à: empêcher quelqu'un, une action de réussir."
Thus, your meaning is "to prevent someone from succeeding in doing something, or to prevent something from happening, or coming about.
Although I agree it must be great for you if you do not find conflicting results, when they sometimes appear on web searches, to be confusing.
