waivable
Able to surrender
Waivable describes something that can be voluntarily given up or set aside.
Rights, fees, requirements, and penalties are commonly waivable: The late fee is waivable if you call customer service.
What's waivable depends on who has authority to waive it—a judge might waive a court requirement, but a clerk cannot.
