This offer is made without prejudice to DHL

[NamelessKing]

This offer is made without prejudice to DHL and should not be deemed to be an admission of liability by us. (From an email I received)

I'm not familiar with legalese, but does the sentence above mean DHL doesn't acknowledge being responsible for the damaged parcel, and therefore I cannot sue them or pursue any legal action? The offer they made is essentially an act of good will, right?

They are making an offer without accepting any legal responsibility- it's a goodwill gesture, and cannot be used legally against them as they are not admitting anything.

You can sue them but, if you do so, you cannot use their offer as 'proof' that they accepted liability.
