voidability
Capacity for annulment
Voidability is the quality of being capable of being voided or invalidated.
The term appears almost exclusively in legal contexts, where it describes contracts or agreements that can be declared invalid under certain conditions: The contract's voidability hinged on whether the seller had disclosed the property's defects.
A voidable contract remains enforceable until one party exercises the right to void it.
