Waiver of right of first refusal

A waiver of the right of first refusal is a contractual provision where a party relinquishes their priority opportunity to acquire a property or enter into a transaction before the owner negotiates with third parties. This waiver enables the owner to freely seek other potential buyers or partners without offering the right-holder the chance to match or exceed competing offers.

  • The parties involved in a contract mutually agree that it is in their best interest for the right of first refusal to be waived to expedite a transaction.
  • The ownership prefers to avoid potential delays or complications that might arise from the existing rights of first refusal.
