not vitiated or impaired
As Adrian says, it's difficult to find a suitable equivalent for "vicio", which often implies "vicio del consentimiento" (error, fraud, duress), and "vitiation" doesn't feel like a good solution, but you could phrase it another way:
...to enter into this agreement, which is not vitiated or impaired by anything that might invalidate it.
...to enter into this agreement, which is not vitiated or impaired by anything that might invalidate it.
