Nevada § 104.2210 - Delegation of performance; assignment of rights

§ 104.2210. Delegation of performance; assignment of rights

1. A party may perform his or her duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed

or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having his or her original

promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract. No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform

or any liability for breach. 2. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 104.9406 , unless otherwise agreed, all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except

where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase

materially the burden or risk imposed on the seller or buyer by his or her contract,

or impair materially his or her chance of obtaining return performance. A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the

assignor's due performance of his or her entire obligation can be assigned despite

agreement otherwise. 3. Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a prohibition of assignment of “the

contract” is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of the

assignor's performance. 4. An assignment of “the contract” or of “all my rights under the contract” or an

assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language

or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it

is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor and its acceptance by

the assignee constitutes a promise by the assignee to perform those duties. This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original

contract. 5. The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating

reasonable grounds for insecurity and may without prejudice to his or her rights against

the assignor demand assurances from the assignee ( NRS 104.2609 ).
