safe harbor

1. Some place that provides safety and protection. My aunt took us in and gave us safe harbor when she heard we were on the run from the police.

2. In law, something that provides legal protection. Unfortunately, nothing in the contract gives you safe harbor. So yeah, the other company can sue you for this.

3. In business, safety from being acquired by another company. That business we just acquired is so heavily regulated that it should give us safe harbor from the circling sharks looking to take us over.
