When a party to a contract is "discharged", the obligations and duties of that party have been fulfilled, waived, excused, or released. The party may be discharged by "full and exact performance" of his or her obligations, or may plead (in litigation) that discharge resulted from the breach of material terms by the opposing party, or failure of consideration, or other condition, excusing further performance. Note that the OTHER party may not be equally discharged and may continue to be bound by the terms, perhaps in proportion to the value of consideration received.
By comparison, all further obligations and legal relationship of all parties under a contract can also be "terminated or canceled" by mutual consent, whether or not any party has fully "discharged" its obligations, or may (under limited conditions) be rescinded or modified in equity.
