It seems to me that while 'rescind' might work OK in #1, it wouldn't fit at all in #2 and #3

How about 'contest'?

i think you can be creative here

Another possibility

Dénoncer le forfait: To bring out/underline what makes the document less than perfect ...
Dénoncer les anomalies: Underline the elements that don't seem right/the discrepancies in the contract ...
Nombreuses anomalies qu'il faut dénoncer: Many shortcomings/discrepancies have to be looked at/remedied ...

PS: I dont like "rescind" in this context ...

Good luck ...

Il faut souligner certains aspects

I believe it means 'to terminate' and 'dénoncer' corresponds to the English word 'denounce' and I found a kudoz earlier exemple, translated from Portuguese to English and is correct.

38 mins confidence:

rescind,/annul,/void/ cancel the contract

a few more options but "terminate" is fine

Cancel a contract and restore parties to the state they would have been in had the contract never been drawn.
