asssert
I normally use "assert" "The fact that we do not at any given time assert any one of the general sales conditions may not be interpreted as a waiver to assert such condition it at a later time."

Sorry about the sloppy translation, I was rushing: "The fact that at any given time we do not assert any one of the general sales conditions may not be interpreted as a waiver to assert such condition at a later time."

French term (edited):
prevaloir
invoke
I find this is often a good solution with this kind of construction.

Thanks, Phil! I'm not entirely sure if one can use 'enforce' for the clauses in a contract, but I freely admit this is outside my field.

Not invoking at any point on our part the...cannot be interpreted as...
Hello,
I agreed with Tony for the general meaning, but I thought I would propose a translation for how it should be worded (considering the phrase "Le fait que..." as a whole).
It's the subjunctive tense that is often used after "le fait que..." (i.e., "prevalions" here).
The "we" is carried over by "on our part" (not sure it is even necesssary if it is clearly implied in the context).
I hope this helps.

exercise a right
In my experience, it is more common to speak of exercising a right or ommission to do so than of invoking a right, particularly in contractual legal lingo.
