without waiver or prejudice

without waiver or prejudice
A phrase negativing admission of liability. The expression has among both lawyers and business men a well-understood value, and imports into any writing in which it appears that the parties have agreed that, as between themselves the receipt of the money by one, and its payment by the other, shall not, because of the facts of the receipt and payment, have any legal effect upon the rights of the parties in the premises; that such rights will be as open to settlement by negotiation or legal controversy as if the money had not been turned over by the one to the other. Genet v President etc. of Delaware & Hudson Canal Co. 170 NY 278, 63 NE 350
