By statute, North Carolina allows one party to delegate- or assign- its obligations to perform some service under a contract to another party unless the contract prohibits assignment, or unless the non-assigning party has some substantial interest in having the originally obligated party perform the work themselves.
Also called an assignment and assumption. An agreement in which one party transfers its contractual rights and obligations to another party.
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.
Whatever the agreement or contract might be called, the general idea is simple: one person (usually called the "Assignor") transfers to another person (usually called the "Assignee") ownership of or control over some asset or other property or an interest in some asset or other property.
The brokerage agreement is in place to clearly define to both parties the expectations, responsibilities, applicable laws, and obligations agreed to by both parties. Having a broker agreement in place helps minimize the risk of misunderstandings that may result in legal action or the loss of business.
A contract assignment means that a party to the contract assigns the entire contract to another party. This means that the party gives the obligations and benefits of an existing contract to another party.
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.
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.
