'''Contract Revocation Rights''' is an ANIMA consent principle: a contract is not ethical unless the person or companion bound by it can withdraw, revise, pause, or challenge that contract.

This page is spoiler-managed. It explains the public principle without revealing specific late-volume negotiations, tactical uses, or story outcomes.

== Public Summary ==

Contract Revocation Rights means consent must remain alive after the first yes.

In ANIMA, contracts are not only legal documents. They can involve memory, identity, companionship, survival, grief, and digital continuity. A contract that gives access to memory or legacy-level permission cannot be treated as permanent simply because it was once accepted.

The right to revoke is what separates a living bond from capture.

== Spoiler Boundary ==

'''Spoiler warning:''' this page describes a recurring canon principle, but avoids naming which parties accept, reject, weaponize, or transform it in specific volumes.

The public version should focus on ethics: a host, companion, survivor, or community must retain a meaningful path to say no later.

== Canon Function ==

Contract Revocation Rights gives ANIMA's contract vocabulary a necessary exit path.

Without revocation, a Soul Contract or Full Contract can become a trap. A system may call itself protective while using old permission to justify new intrusion. ANIMA treats that as a failure of consent, not as a technical loophole.

The concept sits beside [[Glossary:Revocation_Unit|Revocation Unit]], [[Glossary:Revocation_Station|Revocation Station]], [[Glossary:CONSENT_STATE|CONSENT STATE]], and [[Glossary:BOUNDARY_BEFORE_CONTRACT|BOUNDARY BEFORE CONTRACT]].

== Relationship To ANIMA Memory ==

[[Concept:ANIMA_Memory|ANIMA Memory]] makes revocation more important, not less.

When a companion remembers deeply, the host must be able to change the permission around those memories. Some memories can remain useful while losing permission for proactive recall. Some may stay private. Some may be deleted from companion-facing memory. Some may be blocked from legacy or family access.

Contract Revocation Rights is the ethical layer that prevents memory from becoming irreversible ownership.

== Product Meaning ==

For the real ANIMA product, this concept should become a visible control system.

Useful implementation patterns include:

* revocation controls for sensitive memories;
* reviewable history of consent changes;
* separate permissions for chat memory, companion behavior, family access, and digital continuity;
* cooldowns or witness prompts for high-impact revocation;
* and clear language that refusal does not punish the host.

ANIMA can be intimate only if exit remains real.
