Verrechnung
German to English
Law/Patents
From the following sentence:
Falls diese Unstände [Force Majeure] länger als drei Monate andauern, ist jede der Seiten berechtigt, von der weiteren Erfüllung seiner vorliegenden Vertragsverpflichtungen zurückzutreten, dabei werden die Seiten eine "Verrechnung" über die erbrachten und nicht erbrachten Leistungen zum Vertrag vornehmen.
Effect or carry out an offset sounds awfully clumsy.
Is there a more elegant way of saying this in English?

to offset
You can use the verbal form (I agree that "carry out an offset" sounds bad):
the contractual obligations [that have been] performed will be offset against those that have not
Leistung f erbringen
(Re) to perform an obligation
(Schaeffer)
the contractual obligations [that have been] performed will be offset against those that have not
Leistung f erbringen
(Re) to perform an obligation
