agency (noun, a-gen-cy, \ ˈeɪdʒənsi \) by ratification (noun, rat-i-fi-ca-tion, \ ˌrætəfəˈkeɪʃən \)

Definition: is a relationship created between two parties when an individual, posing as an agent of a company while not being one, operates in their name, with the operation later being approved by the company. As the person in question isn’t an official agent such an act would be illegal, but since the firm approved his action, the principal of agency by ratification takes effect, and the operation gains legal status.

In a Sentence:

  1. Even though Michael wasn’t an agent of Terraria, he hoped that they would approve his actions and an agency by ratification relationship would be established between them.
