French term or phrase: Vous offrir la liberté nous oblige à nous dépasser.
It`s the last line of this paragraph I have trouble understanding.

Le pouvoir de signer sans s'engager

Vous avez le pouvoir d'être libre! Le seul engagement qui demeure est celui que nous avons envers vous, c'est-à-dire vous donner entière satisfaction. Nous vous promettons la meilleure expérience client qui soit. Vous offrir la liberté nous oblige à nous dépasser.

My translation:

A Contract With No Bounds! (OR: A contract that doesn't tie you down)

The power of being commitment-free! Our company is committed to your complete satisfaction. We guarantee you the best customer experience possible, no strings attached!


My coworker tried to explain it in French as follows:

La chance d’être libéré des contrats

Nous vous donnons la chance d’être libre. Nous avons si confiance en notre expérience client que nous vous laissons mettre terme à votre contrat en tout temps. Sans cette garantie, nous nous dépassons pour vous offrir le meilleur service sur le marché.

You're right but I still think that line doesn't belong there and neither does the French writer, but the client wants it.
