Common use of Amendment and Termination of the Agreement Clause in Contracts

Amendment and Termination of the Agreement. (1) The Agreement is terminated: on the date of approval by the council of the doctoral school of the doctoral student’s request of withdrawal from the doctoral studies or transfer to another institution that organizes doctoral studies, or on the date of the completion of doctoral student’s doctoral studies, respectively. Obligations imposed prior to the termination of the Agreement must be executed in accordance with the contractual conditions. (2) The Agreement may be terminated, without requiring the mediation of a legal body or other formal measures, in case of expulsion of the doctoral student, or when the doctoral student does not comply with the provisions and obligations of the present Agreement. In the former case, the expulsion decision of the doctoral school council leads to termination. In the latter case, termination occurs on the date the University informs the doctoral student of their breach of Agreement, without incurring penalties or any other formal measures, without the intervention of a legal body. The university has the right to request the doctoral student for compensation for any accumulated amounts, associated penalties, and/or material losses. (3) Any other measure adopted by the University in favour of the doctoral student cannot be interpreted as a waiver of the express termination clause mentioned in paragraph (2), or the expulsion clause, respectively. (4) The force majeure clause, as defined by law, leads to the suspension of the contractual obligations, and it protects from liability the party invoking the clause. (5) Any amendment regarding the provisions of the present Agreement, while in force, requires the signing of an additional document, in compliance with the law. The Agreement is automatically amended where amendments in the legislation pertaining to the organization and operation of the doctoral studies occur. (6) Any disputes regarding the signing, execution, amendment, suspension, or termination of the present Agreement will be resolved amicably. If disputes could not be settled amicably a party has the option to take the dispute to court or arbitration, in compliance with the law.
