Performance and Discharge

In contract law, "performance" refers to the fulfillment of the obligations and promises outlined in a contract. It means that each party does what they agreed to do. "Discharge" occurs when a party is released from their obligations, which can happen in several ways: completing the contract, mutual agreement to end it, or when unforeseen circumstances make performance impossible. Essentially, performance is about carrying out your commitments, while discharge is about being freed from them, whether by fulfilling the terms or through specific legal situations.
