to relieve? Explanation: Maybe "relieves", but that means much the same as "releases", and indeed "discharges". Seems to be saying the same thing twice. And "agrees to save harmless" sounds weird to me. I presume it means "recompense for any losses". "The undersigned hereby agrees to release and relieve XXX from or against any...(blah)...and recompense for any losses..." |

free Explanation: In this context it means that the undersigned person agrees that XXX will be freed from whatever obligation or liability he/she is in question. Discharge is normally used to mean that a person has carried out a task they were responsible for, so it could be taken to mean that the undersigned person agrees that XXX has already carried out the task he or she was engaged for, or has tried to the best of their ability to do so and therefore is being released from the obligation despite the task not having been completed. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2007-06-03 11:43:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, I think that should be OK |
