Common use of Cancellation with Cause Clause in Contracts

Cancellation with Cause. If through any cause within the Consultant’s control that is not authorized by the State, the Consultant shall fail to submit Instruments of Service and other documents as required herein and according to the stated Project Schedule, or if the Consultant shall violate any of the covenants, agreements, or perform such services in an unsatisfactory manner, the State shall have the right to cancel this Agreement upon seven (7) days written notice to the Consultant. If, upon cancellation, the State incurs additional cost as a result of the Consultant’s failure to perform, the Consultant shall be responsible for the amount of such additional costs reasonably incurred by the State. The State shall be entitled to withhold from any payment due to the Consultant, an amount which the State reasonably believes may be its additional costs until such time as the exact amount of such additional cost is determined and the Consultant has rendered payment thereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to require the State to pay interest on any retainage amount held by the State under this Agreement.
