I am a materials supplier and my customer is a sub. Our part of the job is done and we have been fully paid for a few months now. The sub is asking me for an unconditional final but they want me to add the GC's name to the release. Working with Levelset Help, they are not able to add on the GC, only send the GC a copy of the release.

My contract was terminated by the GC due to non performance of a sub contractor I hired to complete some work on the site. Up to this point, I had not violated the terms of the sub contract agreement.
