Common use of Termination and Rescission Clause in Contracts

Termination and Rescission. The doctoral student and any supervisor may terminate the Supervision Agreement for good cause, for instance in cases where the doctoral student has not met the agreed interim objectives despite having been granted a grace period twice, or if the personal bond of trust has been broken. Notice must be served in writing, specifying the reasons for the termination. The written notice must be given to the doctoral student or each supervisor. The parties shall endeavour to reach mutual written rescission. The parties involved are no longer tied to the obligations under the Supervision Agreement once the agreement has been rescinded or terminated; other duties in accordance with the respectively applicable doctoral degree regulations remain hereby unaffected. If the doctoral student has already been accepted or admitted to the University of Passau in accordance with the applicable doctoral degree regulations, the chairperson of the relevant faculty’s Board of Examiners for Doctoral Awards must be informed of the rescission or termination. A new Supervision Agreement may be concluded between the doctoral student and the remaining supervisor and/or other supervisor.
