refusable
Able to decline
Refusable describes something that can be declined or rejected.
An offer, request, or invitation is refusable if accepting it isn't compulsory: The overtime was refusable, so I went home.
The word often appears in contrast with things that cannot be refused—mandatory orders, irresistible temptations, or offers too good to pass up.
