Cancellation and termination and effect of cancellation, termination, rescission or fraud on rights and remedies
Wis. Stat. § 411.505
in effect(1) On cancellation of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged, but any right based on earlier default or performance survives, and the canceling party also retains any remedy for default of the whole lease contract or any unperformed balance.
(2) On termination of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on earlier default or performance survives.
(3) Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of “cancellation”, “rescission” or the like of the lease contract may not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of any claim in damages for an earlier default.
(4) Rights and remedies for material misrepresentation or fraud include all rights and remedies available under this chapter for default.
(5) Neither rescission nor a claim for rescission of the lease contract nor rejection or return of the goods may bar or be considered inconsistent with a claim for damages or other right or remedy.
