take-it-or-leave-it

No negotiation allowed

Take-it-or-leave-it describes an offer or proposal presented as final and non-negotiable: The landlord gave us a take-it-or-leave-it price.

The phrase implies the other party must accept the terms exactly as stated or walk away—there's no room for bargaining or modification.

It often carries a tone of ultimatum.
