Third Party (United States) In the context of the United States' political system, a third party is any political party organized in at least some states, other than the two current leading parties, which since the time of the American Civil War have always been the Democratic and the Republican parties.
History and first-past-the-post context:
Third Party Software Component In computer programming, and particularly in Microsoft Windows programming, third party software component refers to a reusable software component developed to be either freely distributed or sold by an entity other than the original vendor of the development platform.
Microsoft Visual Basic spawned the first commercially viable market for reusable software components. Visual Basic's first extensibility mechanism was the specification for VBX custom controls.
Trusted Third Party In cryptography, a trusted third party (TTP) is an entity which facilitates interactions between two parties who both trust the third party; they use this trust to secure their own interactions. TTPs are common in cryptographic protocols, for example, a certificate authority (CA).
Third Party Political third party: In a two-party system a third party is a party other than the two dominant ones. While technically the term is limited to the third largest party, it is often used as shorthand to describe any smaller party. For instance, in the United Kingdom a third party is a national political party other than the Conservatives and Labour which has a substantial presence in the House of Commons. It is currently generally used to refer to the Liberal Democrats.
Friend-To-Friend With Third Party Storage A friend-to-friend with third party storage (or F3F for short) computer network is a particular type of F2F in which people store the files they want to exchange in a third party storage (e.g. FTP, Web, email server).
Easta (open source) and Peer2Mail (proprietary) are prototypes of F3F respectively using POP3 and Webmail servers: easta.sf.netpeer2mail.com
Third Party (Canada) In Canada, a third party or third party status usually refers to a small political party that is not considered a contender for power but has representation in the provincial legislature or federal House of Commons.
Most provinces in Canada have a two-party system where there are two major political parties that alternate government, or are considered contenders for government though the identity of these parties may change over time.
There are many third parties in politics. The Greens and Libertarians are parties that cross countries. These parties exist both in U.S. politics and world politics. While their beliefs are the same, the Green and Libertarian parties in the United States are separate from the parties of the same name in other countries. This same distinction is true of these parties in other countries.
Third Party Reproduction Third party reproduction refers to a process where another person provides sperm or eggs or where another woman provides her uterus so that a woman can have a child. Thus the reproductive process goes beyond the traditional father-mother model. However, the third party's involvement is limited to the reproductive process and does not extend into the raising of the child. One can separate: # Sperm donation. A third party provides sperm that can be used for insemination of the future mother. # Ovum donation. An egg donor provides ova for fertilization in the IVF process. The embryo is placed into the uterus of the future mother (embryo transfer). # Gestational carrier. A woman carries a baby through the pregnancy for another person. This involves the use of IVF as the embryo is implanted by embryo transfer.
Third Party Beneficiary A third party beneficiary, in the law of contracts, is a person who may have the right to sue on a contract, despite not having originally been a party to the contract. This right arises where the third party is the intended beneficiary of the contract, as opposed to an incidental beneficiary. It vests when the third party relies on or assents to the relationship, and gives the third party the right to sue either the promisor or the promisee of the contract, depending on the circumstances under which the relationship was created.
