Mutual Release Clause Samples
A Mutual Release clause serves to discharge both parties from any existing or potential claims related to their agreement or prior dealings. In practice, this means that after signing, neither party can pursue legal action against the other for matters covered by the release, such as disputes over past performance or unresolved obligations. The core function of this clause is to provide finality and closure, ensuring that both parties can move forward without fear of future litigation over the same issues.
