Seller Release Sample Clauses
A Seller Release clause serves to discharge the seller from certain claims, liabilities, or obligations related to the transaction after closing. Typically, this clause specifies the scope of the release, such as covering all known and unknown claims arising from the sale, and may require the buyer to formally acknowledge that they will not pursue further action against the seller for matters covered by the release. Its core practical function is to provide the seller with legal protection and finality, ensuring that once the transaction is complete, the seller is not exposed to ongoing or future disputes related to the sale.

Seller Release. (a) Each Seller (i) represents, warrants, and acknowledges that such Seller has been fully advised by such Seller’s attorney that, under certain statutory or common-law principles applied in certain states, a general release does not extend to claims that a creditor does not know or suspect to exist in such creditor’s favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by such creditor must have materially affected such creditor’s settlement with the debtor, and (ii) hereby expressly waives the benefits thereof and any rights such Seller may have under any statute or common law principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Seller hereby acknowledges and intends that this release will be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Released Claims and expressly consents that this release will be given full force and effect in accordance with every express term or provision, including those (i) relating to any Released Claims or (ii) relating to unknown and unsuspected Released Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and/or unanticipated claims). Each Seller relinquishes all rights and benefits, if any, afforded by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any analogous law of any other state, locality or other jurisdiction) and does so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequence of such specific waiver of Section 1542, which provides: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
