						<section id="a"><p><span class="prefix-number">a.</span> A transfer of &#x201C;the <span class="dictionary">contract</span>&#x201D; or of &#x201C;all my rights under the <span class="dictionary">contract</span>,&#x201D; or a transfer in similar general terms, is a transfer of all contractual interests under the <span class="dictionary">contract</span>. Whether the transfer is effective is determined by &#xA7;&#xA7; <a class="law" title="Transfer of contractual interest" href="/59.1-505.3/">59.1-505.3</a> and <a class="law" title="Finance licenses" href="/59.1-505.8/">59.1-505.8</a> (a) (1) (B). <a id="paragraph-210790" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-505.4/#a"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="b"><p><span class="prefix-number">b.</span> The following rules apply to a transfer of a <span class="dictionary">party</span>&#x2019;s contractual interests: <a id="paragraph-210791" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-505.4/#b"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="b1" class="indent-1"><p><span class="prefix-number">1.</span> The transferee is subject to all contractual use terms. <a id="paragraph-210792" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-505.4/#b1"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="b2" class="indent-1"><p><span class="prefix-number">2.</span> Unless the language or circumstances otherwise indicate, as in a transfer as security, the transfer delegates the duties of the transferor and transfers its rights. <a id="paragraph-210793" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-505.4/#b2"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="b3" class="indent-1"><p><span class="prefix-number">3.</span> Acceptance of the transfer is a promise by the transferee to perform the delegated duties. The promise is enforceable by the transferor and any other <span class="dictionary">party</span> to the original <span class="dictionary">contract</span>. <a id="paragraph-210794" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-505.4/#b3"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="b4" class="indent-1"><p><span class="prefix-number">4.</span> The transfer does not relieve the transferor of any duty to perform, or of liability for breach of <span class="dictionary">contract</span>, unless the other <span class="dictionary">party</span> to the original <span class="dictionary">contract</span> agrees that the transfer has that effect. <a id="paragraph-210795" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-505.4/#b4"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="c"><p><span class="prefix-number">c.</span> A <span class="dictionary">party</span> to the original <span class="dictionary">contract</span>, other than the transferor, may treat a transfer that conveys a right or duty of performance without its consent as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and, without prejudice to the <span class="dictionary">party</span>&#x2019;s rights against the transferor, may demand assurances from the transferee under &#xA7; <a class="law" title="Adequate assurance of performance" href="/59.1-507.8/">59.1-507.8</a>. <a id="paragraph-210796" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-505.4/#c"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section></text><history>2000, cc. 101, 996.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
