DEAL BREAKER

It is an issue that if not solved immediately one party will discontinue the discussions. It may involve the presence of a particular requirement in a contract or in a provision. For negotiations that are non-iterative, meaning that there is no further interaction once terms are satisfied, the parties involved can be unwilling to budge over certain issues because they know that this is their only chance at getting what they want. The presence of a deal breaker, however, helps both parties in a negotiation know how to maneuver and help determine each other's pain points.
