The Conditional Waiver and Release on Final Payment is a crucial document in Philippine construction and development projects, typically used at the conclusion of a project or major phase when final payment is being processed. This document is essential for protecting both the paying party (usually the owner or developer) and the releasing party (typically the contractor or supplier) by clearly establishing that all claims are waived once the final payment is received and cleared. The document must comply with Philippine civil law requirements and typically includes details about the project, payment amount, and specific conditions for the release to take effect. It serves as a vital risk management tool, ensuring that once final payment is made, the project can be closed without concern for future claims or liens. The use of this document type is particularly important in larger construction projects where multiple parties and substantial payments are involved.

1. Parties: Identification of all parties involved, including the releasing party (contractor/supplier) and the released party (owner/general contractor), with their complete legal names and addresses

2. Background: Brief description of the project, the original contract, and the context of the final payment

3. Definitions: Clear definitions of key terms used in the document, including 'Final Payment', 'Project', 'Contract', and 'Claims'
