disagree  df49f (X): French concept not understood: see Karen's answer for correct meaning & phrase (legalese in any language cannot be invented)//yes that's the meaning - Engl legalese term is "release" or "discharge", not liberate///PS: bravo for NOT hiding your answer :)

  -> Perhaps you want to say, even after paying the penalty, the supplier is not liberated from the contractual obligations? If that is the correct answer, I admit that my answer is wrong, sorry. Thanks anyhow.
