Sin perjuicio de lo previsto en el proyecto de acuerdo, sugeriría que en el convenio se deje constancia de que los reclamantes desisten no sólo de efectuar cualquier tipo de reclamo por daños y perjuicios y/o gastos de toda índole y de cualquier acción legal, sino que también desisten de efectuar denuncias" de la índole que fuese ante cualquier ente u organismo. Tal vez sea sobreabundante pero la precaución no estará de más.

can't be too/it's better to err -- see explanation
Maybe it seems overabundant/excessive, but (in this situation) we can't be too cautious/it's better to err on the side of caution.
