Generally

E.D.N.Y.2022.  Cit. generally in case quot. in ftn. Developers sued consultant that they had hired to help
them obtain financing for real-estate projects in Florida, after it ceased operating and terminated the
parties' relationship. This court granted summary judgment for consultant, holding that developers had
signed releases of their claims against consultant in exchange for additional promises of financing. The
court rejected developers' argument that the releases never took effect because consultant failed to
satisfy a condition precedent when it did not email evidence of certain funding to developers until four
and a half hours after the specified deadline, reasoning that the evidence indicated that developers had
waived the breach, which was not material under the Restatement of Contracts. Sands Harbor Marina
Corp. v. USI Insurance Service National, Inc., 586 F.Supp.3d 163, 175.

Contracts § 12, Comment a, when plaintiff offered to release all claims against insurer and defendants in
exchange for a specified sum, and that insurer's compliance by paying the specified sum in two separate
checks created an enforceable agreement. Koung v. Giordano, 346 So.3d 108, 114.
