Waiver and General Release Clause Samples
A Waiver and General Release clause serves to relinquish or forfeit certain legal rights or claims that one party may have against another. In practice, this clause typically requires a party to agree not to pursue legal action or make further claims related to a specific matter, such as after a settlement or the end of an employment relationship. Its core function is to provide finality and certainty by preventing future disputes or litigation over the same issues, thereby protecting the released party from ongoing liability.
