Breach of Contract refers to the violation of the terms agreed upon in a legal contract, enabling the affected party to seek legal remedies such as rescission of the contract, damages, or specific performance.
Rescission refers to the legal act of canceling or terminating a contract, most often due to issues like fraud, duress, misrepresentation, or mistake. It renders the contract void from the beginning, effectively restoring both parties to the situation they were in before the contract was made.
