先来看一下“Partition”的意思。

【元照英美法词典】：指财产的分割，最狭义上是指将以共同保有人〔joint tenant〕、共同继承人〔coparcener〕或混合共有人〔tenant in common〕等形式共有的土地在权利人之间进行分割；较广义上可以指在共有人〔co-owner〕间对动产或不动产进行的分割。财产的分割可以是自愿的，依当事人的协议进行；也可以是强制的，依法院的命令进行。通常情况下，法院并不命令对财产进行实物分割，而是命令将财产出售，对售得的价款〔proceeds〕进行分割。

根据上述释义，我们暂且可将其中文译为“放弃分割”。但是，这一条款具体指的是什么呢？我们可以在谷歌中搜索waiver of partition，查找与之相关的条款，从而更好地理解这一词。相关查询结果如下：

（解释）

Specifically, when a contract provides an exit mechanism that is subject to certain conditions and when the filing of a partition action would allow an exiting party to escape those conditions, the exiting party's decision to sign the contract constitutes a waiver of the statutory right of partition.

具体来说，当合同规定了以某些条件为前提的退出机制，且提出分割将会使退出方避开这些条件的，退出方签署这一合同的决定即头程对法定分割权的放弃。
