  1. arm's length

    Arm's length refers to a condition or transaction in which the involved parties behave independently and have no relationship with each other, resulting in a fair and genuine market price. The term is often used in business transactions where the parties are expected to act in their own self-interest without any pressure or influence from the other side. This principle ensures that both parties in the deal get a fair deal based on prevailing market conditions.
