Define what is being resolved
Check whether the settlement covers one invoice, all claims between the parties or something broader.
Check payment timing
Dates, instalments and conditions should be clear.
Look for releases
A release may limit future claims, so its scope matters.
Get advice for significant consequences
Settlement language can permanently affect rights; legal review may be valuable before accepting an important settlement.
