Legal Term
Termination for Convenience
Legal Definition
In consulting contracts, termination for convenience is a contractual provision that allows one party, typically the client, to unilaterally terminate the agreement without demonstrating fault, breach, or default by the other party, subject to conditions such as advance notice and potential payment of fees or compensation for services rendered.
In Plain English
It means you can end a consulting contract anytime for any reason, as long as you follow the contract's rules—like giving written notice and possibly paying a fee for work done.
Example in a Contract
Client shall have the right to terminate this Consulting Agreement for convenience upon ten (10) days' written notice to Consultant. Upon termination, Client shall pay Consultant for all services performed up to the effective termination date, along with any pre-approved expenses, and no further payments shall be due.
