  • Description
    Term of Agreement; Early Termination of Services. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date (such three (3) year period, the “Term” and any one (1) year period within the Term, a “Term Year”), unless sooner terminated by the parties as set forth in this Agreement, including this Article XI, and subject to Section 3.4. Upon mutual written consent of the parties, the parties may renew this Agreement for additional three (3) year or shorter terms. Some Services shall be provided for a period of less than three (3) years if so specified by the applicable Services Schedule. Recipient may elect to terminate Service Provider’s provision of all or any portion of the Services (or any Service) by providing Service Provider written notice of such election at least sixty (60) days in advance of the effective date of termination of any such Service (unless Service Provider agrees to shorten or waive such notice period in writing); provided, however, that the written notice period shall be at least ninety (90) days in advance of the effective date of termination of the benefits and payroll administration services. Service Provider may elect to terminate all or any portion of the Services (or any Service) by providing Recipient written notice of such election at least six (6) months in advance of the effective date of termination (unless Recipient agrees to shorten or waive such notice period in writing) (such period being the “Service Provider Notice Period”); provided, however, that if during the Service Provider Notice Period, after working in good faith to transition the terminated Service or Services, Recipient reasonably believes it will be unable to complete such transition by the end of the Service Provider Notice Period, Recipient may request to extend the termination date, and thus extend the Service Provider Notice Period, for a reasonable period of time, in order for Recipient to complete the transition of the terminated Service or Services. Such request to extend will be made by Recipient’s delivery of written notice of such request to Post prior to the end of the initial Service Provider Notice Date. Promptly after Post’s receipt of such request, the parties will negotiate in good faith with regard to whether to extend beyond the Service Provider Notice Period and the period of time for which the termination date and the Service Provider Notice Period will be extended, if any. For the purposes of this Section 11.1, each row in the Services Schedule is considered a single Service unless otherwise described in the Services Schedule. If Recipient provides written notice to Service Provider that it desires to terminate a portion of the Services or a Service or Service Provider provides written notice to Recipient that it desires to terminate a portion of the Services or a Service, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine what the portions of the Services may terminated, if any, or what additional Services will also need to be terminated along with such Services (it being understood that Recipient or Service Provider, as the case may be, shall only be permitted to terminate a portion of a Service to the extent that it does not materially change Service Provider’s provision of related Services and that certain inter-related Services may only be terminated as a whole). In addition to the foregoing, if Service Provider discontinues providing a given Service for its own operations, Service Provider may, upon at least sixty (60) days’ notice to Recipient, terminate providing such Service hereunder (e.g., if Service Provider is no longer providing online training services for its own employees, Service Provider may, upon sixty (60) days’ notice, terminate any online training services that are Services hereunder). In addition to other termination rights, this Agreement will automatically terminate when all Services have been terminated hereunder.

What is Early Termination of Services?

Early Termination of Services refers to the discontinuation of an agreement, contract, or service before its predefined end date. This clause allows parties to dissolve their obligations due to specific circumstances or breaches outlined in the agreement. In many cases, early termination can incur fees or penalties designed to compensate the service provider for the premature cessation of the contract.

When should I use Early Termination of Services?

Early Termination of Services should be considered in scenarios where:

  • Breach of Contract: One party fails to adhere to the terms agreed upon, warranting an immediate or planned termination.
  • Obsolescence or Redundancy: The service is no longer needed or has been rendered irrelevant due to changing circumstances.
  • Cost-cutting Measures: Financial constraints necessitate the cancellation of non-essential services.
  • Better Alternatives: More favorable options become available, prompting a reconsideration of the current arrangement.

How do I write Early Termination of Services?

Writing an Early Termination of Services clause involves clearly defining the conditions and procedures that permit termination. Here is a basic template:

Early Termination Clause: Either party may terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration date upon providing [number of days/weeks] written notice to the other party. Termination shall be permissible under the following conditions:

  1. A breach of any material terms of this Agreement, provided that the breach is not cured within [number of days] after written notice;
  2. The occurrence of an unforeseen event rendering performance impossible;
  3. Mutual consent of both parties.

Ensure that the clause is customized to meet the specific requirements and legal considerations of the agreement in context.

Which contracts typically contain Early Termination of Services?

Contracts that commonly include Early Termination of Services clauses consist of:

  • Employment Contracts: Often include terms for terminating employment based on performance issues or misconduct.
