Purchase agreement
This is in a purchase agreement from Latvia, where I understand it to talk about the seller possibly withdrawing from the deal. (Partial translation: THE SELLER //pielīkst atkāpties// from this agreement should THE PURCHASER, fail to pay the whole purchase price by the set deadline. )
Thanks to all!

agrees to withdraw
I suppose that it should read "pielīgst", which seems to me like an old form of the same root as "salīgt", "līgums", etc.
Example sentence:
Pielīgt - Līgstot vienoties par (kā, piemēram, tiesību) piešķiršanu (kādam). (Tezaurs.lv)

: The buyer already being in breach (non-payment) the seller terminates, not breaches, the deal.
