unexchangeable

Not able traded

Unexchangeable describes something that cannot be traded, swapped, or substituted for something else.

The term applies to items, assets, or rights that are locked in place—whether by contract, policy, or inherent nature.

The airline tickets were unexchangeable once purchased.

It contrasts with exchangeable or refundable, often appearing in fine print about returns and cancellations.
