French term or phrase: renoncer à nous prévaloir
This is language on a SWIFT TELEX concerning contractual agreement between a foreign government ministry and a private US firm with the banks as guarantors.

"Tout retard apporté au versement des sommes dues au titre de la contre garantie, mettra à notre charge, le paiement au profit de la Banque XYZ au taux d'intérêts de 12 (douze) pourcent qui commenceront à courir à partir du huitième jour de paiement effectif, ces intérêts seront capitalisés s'ils sont dus pour une année entière. Nous renonçons expressement à nous prevaloir d'une quelconque exception tirée du contrat liant ABC, Inc. et le Ministère XXX pour autant que la Banque XYZ justifie par telex chiffré que le Ministère XXX a mis en jeu la garantie."

neutral  writeaway: right?? is that in the French too? Or am I just being a silly English legal translator when I think the French word 'droit' should be present for the English word 'right' to be used? Or is it now ok to assume (supposer) the meaning in legal texts?
