Renunciando

I am asking this question not because I don't understand "renunciando" but because I want to make sure that my use of "thereby" in this context is correct.

But I would use "this contract" for "hereof" and "hereof" for "thereof". It needs to be consistent.
Note from asker:
| Hi Henry. I'm awarding you the points based on your correction of "thereof" to "hereof". I contacted an attorney, and he said that the sentence could be worded with or without the "thereby". |

Thanks for pointing that out. If you do a Google search, you will find "jurisdiction of". Look at this U.S. government page: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/documents/0700_705... The Wiley's Spanish-English law dictionary says that "controversia" is controversy. I agree that it could be a dispute, but why is it necessarily not "good English"? Why did you arrive at that conclusion? I used all caps because the source document uses all caps.
