WAIVER AS A DEFENSE TO ENFORCEMENT OF OTHER PARTY'S ASSERTED RIGHT

an existing right, benefit, or advantage held by a party; (2) the party's
actual knowledge of its existence; and (3) the party's actual intent to
relinquish the right, or intentional conduct inconsistent with the right."

circumstances are admitted or clearly established, however, the question
becomes one of law." Id.
