PER CURIAM.

    Affirmed. See Warren v. Dairyland Ins. Co., 662 So. 2d 1387, 1388 (Fla.
4th DCA 1995) (stating that “[i]f an exhibit attached to a complaint negates
the pleader’s cause of action, the plain language of the document will
control and may be the basis for a motion to dismiss”); Churchville v. GACS
Inc., 973 So. 2d 1212, 1215 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008) (indicating that “[t]he
validity and effect of a settlement and release are governed by contract
law”); Custom Marine Sales, Inc. v. Boywic Farms, Ltd., 245 So. 3d 791,
792 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018) (observing that “[w]hen the language of a contract
is unambiguous, it must be enforced based on its plain language”).

GROSS, FORST and KUNTZ, JJ., concur.

                           *          *          *
