Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 45.12.505

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
  • goods: means all things that are movable at the time of identification to the lease contract, or are fixtures under Alaska Stat. See Alaska Statutes 45.12.103
  • Lease: A contract transferring the use of property or occupancy of land, space, structures, or equipment in consideration of a payment (e.g., rent). Source: OCC
  • lease: means a transfer of the right to possession and use of goods for a term in return for consideration, but a sale, including a sale on approval or a sale or return, or retention or creation of a security interest is not a lease. See Alaska Statutes 45.12.103
  • lease contract: means the total legal obligation that results from the lease agreement as affected by this chapter and other applicable rules of law. See Alaska Statutes 45.12.103
  • Rescission: The cancellation of budget authority previously provided by Congress. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may propose to Congress that funds be rescinded. If both Houses have not approved a rescission proposal (by passing legislation) within 45 days of continuous session, any funds being withheld must be made available for obligation.
(b) On termination of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged but a right based on prior default or performance survives.
(c) Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of “cancellation,” “rescission,” or the like of the lease contract may not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of a claim in damages for an antecedent default.
(d) Rights and remedies for material misrepresentation or fraud include all rights and remedies available under this chapter for default.
(e) Neither rescission nor a claim for rescission of the lease contract nor rejection or return of the goods bars or is inconsistent with a claim for damages or other right or remedy.
