facultative
A form of reinsurance whereby each exposure which the ceding company wishes
to reinsure is offered to the reinsurer and is contained in a single transaction.
The submission, acceptance, and resulting agreement is required on each individual
risk that the ceding company seeks to reinsure. That is, the ceding company
negotiates an individual reinsurance agreement for every policy it will reinsure.
However, the reinsurer is not obliged to accept every or any submission.
