Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The agreement between Mary and Tony to substitute Sheila for Mary as the party responsible for delivering the parcel is an example of a substituted agreement, which discharges Mary from her obligation to deliver the parcel to Tony. A material breach occurs when there is a failure to perform a substantial part of the contract, waiver is the intentional relinquishment of a right or claim, release is the relinquishment of a claim or right arising out of a contract, and accord and satisfaction is a contract whereby parties agree to discharge an existing obligation by accepting substituted performance different from the original obligation.
