Given as a favour without obligation (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ex gratia

(Other definitions for ex gratia that I've seen before include "(Of payment) given as a favour but not required" , "Payment as a favour, not as an obligation" , "Given as a favour (Latin)" , "Given as concession without legal compulsion" , "I tax gear given as favour, no charge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
