{{ | {{a|boierplate|{{image|Wafer|png|Don’t worry about it mate.}}}}{{d|Waiver|/ˈweɪvə/|n|}}A topic that can give a [[common law]]yer hives and an under-confident [[credit officer]] an decent psychiatric episode: so much so that it once led to a [[no waiver]] clause, and [[legal eagle]]s and [[credit officer]]s liked it so much it became part of the [[Boilerplate|legal furniture of almost every commercial agreement]]. You even see this [[boilerplate]] in [[confidentiality agreement]]s for heaven’s sake. | ||

You know what the JC thinks about [[I never said you couldn’t|contractual denials of things no-one was asserting in the first place]]: they are a waste of trees. Is this, as it seems, such a waste of trees, or are waivers some kind of magical force-field of contractual energy, that spark and fizz and o’er-leap logical gates, like pole-vaulting crabs — that one waiver could trigger a ''chain'' of waivers, snaking into the distance, or mushrooming exponentially into a violent litigatory fireball? | You know what the JC thinks about [[I never said you couldn’t|contractual denials of things no-one was asserting in the first place]]: they are a waste of trees.

Now, to be sure, it has been a while since the [[Jolly Contrarian|JC]] sat in a [[contract]] law lecture — but, readers, we don’t remember the golden thread of precedent that led down this particular alley. Nor, as far as we know has there been a new one in the intervening decades t hat should justify this boilerplate. We feel this is paranoid, throwaway [[verbiage]] — perhaps prompted by a near miss once, or a bad dream, or one of those psychiatric episodes credit officers are prone to.<ref>Legal scholars/students/friends: Do write in if you know the genesis of this piece of boilerplate, won’t you? enquiries@jollycontrarian.com</ref> | |||
