Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The agreement between Dag and Enita is a release, which is a contract in which one party gives up the right to pursue a legal claim against another party. Enita promised not to pursue her potential legal claim against Dag in exchange for $2,000. The fact that Enita later discovers additional expenses does not invalidate the release agreement.
