Common use of Prior Communications Clause in Contracts

Prior Communications. You fully and completely release any and all Claims you may have had in the past or may have in the future based on your receipt of communications from or on behalf of GAF. You waive California Civil Code Section 1542 (which provides that a “general release does not extend to Claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party”) and any other laws or legal principles that also limit waivers exclusively to known Claims. “Claim” means any cause of action, complaint, allegation, assertion, claim, demand, audit, investigation, inquiry, proceeding, hearing, arbitration, lawsuit, or other action of any kind.
