The voluntary relinquishment of a right or privilege. A party to an agreement may decide to waive their rights in defined circumstances. For example, the buyer and supplier may have originally agreed that delivery should occur on 1 April, but the buyer may, at the seller’s request, agree to accept delivery on 14 April even though it will occur two weeks after the agreed date. Here, the buyer has waived their right to claim damages for late delivery.
