our client is under not obligation

"Our client is under no obligation to accept your offer ."

I have problem to determine meaning of client used here. Would you like to explain it. Does it mean customer? Or it is about law?

Thank you.

" But is not the primary meaning. Usually there is a legal relationship between the two parties: the client and his representative. That seems to be the case here.

  • " But is not the primary meaning.
  • Usually there is a legal relationship between the two parties: the client and his representative.
  • That seems to be the case here.
  • It sounds like a lawyer speaking on behalf of a client or a real estate agent speaking for a buyer or something similar.
