SANS RECOURS
Sans recours means "without recourse" in French. It is a legal term that indicates that a person or entity is not liable for any losses or damages that may occur.
For example, if a bank sells a check without recourse, it means that the bank is not responsible for any problems with the check, such as if it bounces or is fraudulent. Another example is if a seller sells a product without recourse, it means that the seller is not responsible for any defects or issues with the product after it is sold.
These examples illustrate how the term sans recours is used to limit liability and shift responsibility to the buyer or recipient of the product or service.
