Termination
The ending of a contract before its natural expiration, either by agreement or due to specified conditions.
Termination clauses outline how and when a contract can be ended. Common grounds include mutual agreement, breach by either party, convenience (with notice), and force majeure events.
Most contracts specify notice periods, obligations upon termination (such as payment for completed work), and survival clauses that continue beyond termination (like confidentiality and non-compete obligations).
Example
Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice, with the client paying for all work completed up to the termination date.
