Definition: Disaffirm (dis-uh-fuhrm), verb.
- To reject or deny something previously agreed upon.
- To declare a contract void.
Examples:
- After signing the lease, the tenant discovered the apartment had a pest problem and decided to disaffirm the agreement.
- The minor disaffirmed the contract they signed with the car dealership because they were not of legal age to enter into a binding agreement.
These examples illustrate how disaffirming involves rejecting or denying a previous agreement or contract.

In the second example, the minor was not legally able to enter into a binding agreement, so they disaffirmed the contract they signed with the car dealership.
