"unless made good"
There may be a better way of saying this in legalese, but the idea if the customer will drop the suit for damages if the provider provides what they were supposed to deliver.

with the exception of compliance
Parfaire means to finish. According to the context you can find a suitable term, but I think compliance may be a good choice as there must be a contract at the base of this suit which seemingly has no bearing on a material end product.
