Under the Compromises rule, statements made during compromise negotiations are generally:

This rule is meant to encourage people to settle disputes without fearing that what they say in settlement talks will be used against them later. So, generally, those statements cannot be admitted to prove the truth of the matter in dispute. They aren’t completely unusable, though. They can be considered for other purposes, such as showing a witness’s bias or prejudice. The option suggesting they’re admissible to prove truth is not correct, and the idea of admission just because the other party consents isn’t how this rule works.
