# General Release of Claims Template Source: https://nerix.ai/templates/general-release-of-claims One party gives up its claims against another in return for a payment, with no admission of fault. Before you send it The law on releases differs from place to place. Some places limit or refuse a release of claims that are not yet known, of personal injury, of fraud, of unpaid wages and of an employee's statutory rights, or require a release to be in a set form, to give time to think it over or to be signed with independent advice. A release also does not bind people who are not a party to it. Read the list of what is not released, and ask a lawyer to review the release before you sign it, especially for an employee, a consumer or a large sum. ## Fill it in and preview You are signed in.
