TERMINATION PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF TERM AND EFFECTS OF SUCH TERMINATION Clause Samples
This clause defines the conditions under which a contract may be ended before its originally agreed expiration date and outlines the consequences of such early termination. It typically specifies the events or breaches that can trigger early termination, the required notice periods, and the obligations of each party upon termination, such as payment of outstanding amounts or return of confidential information. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear process for ending the agreement prematurely and to allocate responsibilities and liabilities, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential disputes if the relationship ends before the planned term.
