English term or phrase: No failure to act
Appears under a contract's limitation on warranties and liability clause.

NO FAILURE TO ACT with respect to a breach will waive any right of a party to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches...

¡Gracias!

Explanation:
Try not to use the words "falta de acción", because at least in Argentine law, it means that there are no legal basis to start proceedings.
You are wrongly sued (for instance, because you are not legally responsible), you file for "falta de acción" on the other party.
In this case, failure to act means that you do have a right, but for some reason you prefer not to take any legal action, without waiving your right to act in subsequent breaching.

Best regards,

Patricia

Are your sure about the initial "NO"?


Explanation:
Because without it the sentence makes sense to me, and it would be "Abstenerse de tomar medidas..."
