nonacceptance
Denial of entry
Nonacceptance is the refusal or failure to accept something—an offer, a situation, a person, or a set of conditions.
The term appears in legal and formal contexts: The buyer's nonacceptance of the goods voided the contract.
It can also describe psychological resistance: His nonacceptance of the diagnosis delayed treatment.
