    Solution

    These are agreements between an insurance company (the "ceding company") and a reinsurer, where the reinsurer agrees to accept specific risks from the ceding company. The primary purpose of a reinsurance treaty is to establish the terms and conditions under which an insurer (the ceding company) transfers a portion of its risks to a reinsurer.
