Bone and cartilage are types of connective tissues in the body. A bone is hard tissue that forms the skeletal structure of the body. Cartilage, by comparison, is not as hard and rigid as bone, and is present in areas of the body like the ear, nose, and joints.
A waiver is the voluntary relinquishment or surrender of some known right or privilege. Regulatory agencies or governments may issue waivers to exempt companies from certain regulations. For example, a United States law restricted the size of banks, but when banks exceeded these sizes, they obtained waivers.
There are typically two types of lien waivers: waiver-to-date and final waiver. The waiver-to-date is frequently submitted for a progress payment and waives lien rights up to the date of the lien waiver. The final waiver is submitted upon receipt of final payment and waives all lien rights on the project. The lien waiver is an affirmation by the contractor to the owner that it has received a payment and will not record a lien against the property for that work.
