“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.
In the event that the assignor of a contract carries a burden or obligation towards the other contracting party, the assignor cannot assign the duties without the consent of both parties.
Unless an assignment is prohibited in a contract, the outgoing party may assign their rights to the incoming (third) party without the consent of the other party to the agreement. A Letter of assignment can be used to affect the assignment and is signed by the outgoing party and the incoming party.
An assignment will generally be permitted under the law unless there is an express prohibition against assignment in the underlying contract or lease. Where assignments are permitted, the assignor need not consult the other party to the contract but may merely assign the rights at that time.
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.
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.
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.
Offer and Acceptance: In order to create a legally binding contract one party must make the offer and the other party must give their approval to the offer so made, thereby accepting it. Acceptance of offer results in promises that form agreement. The acceptance may be communicated either in an express or implied form.
