Assignment of rights and delegation of duties clause






Assignment of rights and delegation of duties clause

Assignment is the transfer of rights under a contract, such as the right to be paid, to a third party. Delegation is the transfer of obligations under a contract to a third party. The delegation of a duty to perform personal services, such as writing a manuscript, is often limited by contract. Different from subcontracting because in delegation, the transferring party does not remain liable for performance on the contract.
