“No Assignment” clause specifies that the rights or obligations outlined in the contract cannot be transferred or assigned to another party without obtaining prior consent from the original contracting party.
The 'easy' way to assign the contract is to have a one page document stating that for some consideration, the 'buyer' transfers/assigns the contract to a new 'buyer'. Executing (signing) the assignment and receiving 'consideration' (eg $2000 or whatever) would then extinguish your rights to the contract.
Consent is an essential prerequisite of a contract but whether someone has consented to a contract is often the subject of dispute. Contractual consent differs from consent in other contexts. For example, the consent required to enter into a contract is not the same as the consent required for a medical procedure.
Assignment of contract is when one party within a contract assigns the rights and/or obligations of that contract to another party outside of it. The party who is assigning the contract is known as the assignor and the party receiving the rights and responsibilities of the contract is the assignee.
The transfer of a right from one party to another. For example, a party to a contract (the assignor) may, as a general rule and subject to the express terms of a contract, assign its rights under the contract to a third party (the assignee) without the consent of the party against whom those rights are held.
This clause limits each party's ability to assign or transfer their rights and obligations under the contract to another party. It states that neither party can assign or transfer any part of the contract to someone else without first getting written consent from the other party.
Usually, contractual provisions that restrict assignment of the contract without the consent of the obligor are valid and enforceable, even when there is statutory authorization for the assignment. The restriction of the power to assign is often ineffective unless the restriction is expressly and precisely stated.
The assignor must agree to assign their rights and duties under the contract to the assignee. The assignee must agree to accept, or "assume," those contractual rights and duties. The other party to the initial contract must consent to the transfer of rights and obligations to the assignee.
A contract that is void is not legally enforceable and the parties thereto are not legally obligated to each other. Generally, contracts are void because the subject matter is not legal or one of the contracting parties does not have the competency to contract.
Usually, contractual provisions that restrict assignment of the contract without the consent of the obligor are valid and enforceable, even when there is statutory authorization for the assignment. The restriction of the power to assign is often ineffective unless the restriction is expressly and precisely stated.
