An agreement not enforceable by law is to be a void. Thus a void agreement is void ab initio,i.e., no agreement at all from its very inception. A void agreement never sums to an agreement.
Consideration is required in order to have a valid contract. Consideration requires a bargained for return promise. Basically, both parties have to actually do something or give something up. A contract is not a free ride for either party, because consideration is required.
A release is a waiver or relinquishment of a known right. A release of liability will relinquish, or destroy, the injured party's cause of action. A covenant not to sue, on the other hand, is not a waiver of a known right; nothing is relinquished or destroyed.
A covenant not to execute is a contract where a defendant admits to liability and a set amount of damages, and the plaintiff agrees not to seek a judgment against the defendant based on that admission.
A legal contract can change your relationship with the other signing party, granting new rights and eliminating others. You can't sign contracts that surrender fundamental rights, such as the right to liberty, but contracts can curtail certain rights, such as the ability to file lawsuits.
Additionally, there are eight specific criteria a court will use to determine whether or not a contract is unenforceable: lack of capacity, coercion, undue influence, misrepresentation and nondisclosure, unconscionability, public policy, mistake, and impossibility.
A covenant not to sue is a legal agreement in which the party seeking damages agrees not to sue the party that it has cause against.

A formal agreement or promise, usually included in a contract or deed, to do or not do a particular act; a compact or stipulation made in writing or by parol.
An agreement not to sue preserves the existence of the cause of action but places contractual restrictions on the injured party's right to file suit. These agreements are used to settle specific legal issues outside of the court system.
