Background

Whereas, Party A, a software development company, contracted Party B, a technology consulting firm, for the development and implementation of a software application ("the Application").

In consideration of the settlement amount paid by Party A, Party B hereby releases and forever discharges Party A, its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from any claims, demands, liabilities, actions, or causes of action of any kind, known or unknown, arising from or related to the dispute or claim.
