commutation clause

An arrangement that permits a reinsurer to make a onetime payout that fulfills any and all obligations to another party after a given time period. Exercising the commutation clause permits the reinsurance company to discharge all responsibilities under a policy and limit ongoing exposure in situations such as long-term disability where losses are ongoing or recurring.
