Correct word

Dear All, I'm looking for the correct word for something that a company has done out of kindness, for reasons of reputation, etc. in a legal context. E.g., they are making concessions as in price due to faulty products, etc.

Is it:

- goodwill regulations?
- ex-gratia agreements/settlements/arrangements?
- accommodation regulations?

Thanks for your answers!

The standard expression that comes to mind is "goodwill gesture" or "gesture of goodwill". I don't know if it has any specific legal meaning though.

Does that work in a formal text too? I need a word that goes with "distribution partner" (who had products in stock but could not sell them anymore).

Yes, it is OK in a formal text.

I should clarify that, while I don't know whether it has a technical legal definition, in ordinary use it would be understood to refer to something that the company was not legally obliged to do.
