waiver clause

A Waiver clause in a contract asserts a party's right to enforce terms even if a breach has been verbally waived, or assumed to be accepted due to the conduct of a party.

For example, a purchasing officer may accept a late delivery of product without complaint, but due to the Waiver Clause in the company's contract, this conduct by the purchasing officer would not waive the supplier's obligations to deliver goods on time.
