Quoting from [Oneuni]:
In LC terms we found a tenor of "Waver" , what is the meaning and in what
occasion it will effected ?
thanks for the
The general waiver included with most Letters of Credit states that if you fail to comply with the requirements of the credit e.g the documents and or the expiration date that the issuing bank is not responsible to negotiate them. Some discrepancies have been made moot by UCP 600, however if the discrepancy can only be resolved by an amendment before the expiry date the bank will not negotiate until such time that an ammendment has been ratifyed by both the buyer and seller. Know this though, neither the buyer not the seller can be compelled to ratify an ammendment it must be mutual.
If Your waiver states something else please aprise us of the wording so that we can better understand what it applies to.

Thanks for the advise.
No need to apologise. Your subject heading was perfect!
Under all LCs, the documents presented should be as per the LC terms. If not, a bank need not negotiate or pay. On occasions, documents may contain discrepancies. The onus is on the issuing bank to approve or accept the discrepancy(ies). The act of accepting or approving a discrepancy is called 'waiving' (a discrepancy). Negotiation or payment under that LC can then proceed as usual, once a 'waiver' is in place.
Striclty speaking, under the UCP, the applicant (the buyer) has no right to waive or refuse discrepancies. The issuing bank is the sole authority. However, the issuing bank at its discretion may refer to the buyer for waiver. (That's how it normally operates.)
