A call right is a contractual right that lets the holder require another party to sell a specified asset or ownership interest to the holder at a set price (or pricing formula) and within a specified time window.
Common context: in private company equity, a company or investor may have a call right to buy back shares from a founder/employee after certain events (e.g., termination, breach, failure to meet vesting conditions).
