Settlement Agreement
Hello,
This comes from a settlement agreement following termination of employment. I'm assuming "il vaut" means "is equivalent to" here, but am having problems wording it, partly as both règlement and transactionnel can be translated by settlement!
Les Parties reconnaissent que le présent Protocole reflète l’intégralité des accords conclus entre elles et leur commune intention de mettre un terme définitif à leurs différends. Il vaut règlement transactionnel, intégral, forfaitaire, définitif et libératoire des Parties, conformément aux dispositions des articles 1134, 2044 et suivants du code civil;

French term (edited):
transactionnel
contractual (pertaining to a transaction, a contract)
A transaction is a contract which involves a transfer of monies. Your adjective derives from that notion.
" Il vaut règlement transactionnel, intégral, forfaitaire, définitif et libératoire des Parties, conformément ..."
Loosely translated the general idea is that the Agreement (or whatever you have used for "protocole") represents full and final payment under the terms of the contract as defined.
http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/transactionnel
"DÉR.
Transactionnel, -elle, adj.a) Qui est relatif à une transaction; qui a le caractère d'une transaction. Arrangement, règlement transactionnel; formule, solution transactionnelle; liquidation transactionnelle. Je vous propose un moyen transactionnel. "
--------------------------------------------------

For "valoir", you could use something as straightforward as "represent" depending on how you turn the rest of your sentence, the more global context and the type of language you have used elsewhere.

: "represents" not strong enough; I certainly prefer "is". In law, I think you have to refer to the French term - see discussion.

I think "represents" leaves no doubts about its validity; if you prefer "is", fine.

: "It is a lump sum settlement"? nothing is said I the ST about the content of this "Protocole", only that it’s the final settlement (in the meaning of: agreement/document not money) of a dispute.

Reference:
"valoir" en droit
Valoir a un sens plus fort et n’a pas cette valeur approximative que renferme (surtout au sens propre) équivaloir. Il signifie avoir exactement la même valeur, la même signification (juridique) qu’une autre chose. « La remise des conclusions au greffe vaut signification. » Il a comme synonyme la locution verbale tenir lieu de : « Les offres réelles tiennent lieu à son égard de paiement. » Comme emporter (« S’il y a dissentiment entre ceux-ci, ce partage emporte consentement »), valoir s’emploie fréquemment en droit avec un complément qui n’est pas accompagné de l’article. Cette omission de l’article (« En fait de meubles, possession vaut titre ») est une caractéristique du langage juridique et permet de créer l’effet Thémis…
Valoir s’emploie absolument, comme satisfaire, au sens d’être fondé : « Cet appel ne vaut pas » (= ne satisfait pas, n’est pas fondé).

1134. Les conventions légalement formées tiennent lieu de loi à ceux qui les ont faites. Elles ne peuvent être révoquées que de leur consentement mutuel, ou pour les causes que la loi autorise. Elles doivent être exécutées de bonne foi.
2044. La transaction est un contrat par lequel les parties terminent une contestation née, ou préviennent une contestation à naître. Ce contrat doit être rédigé par écrit.

"vaut règlement transactionnel" means no less than "constitutes a contract" (see ref. provided). So, the translation should use something like "It is a « transaction » (a contract) under sections 1134 and 2044 of the Code civil (France) and constitutes/applies as full…"
