Cause Termination Clause Samples

The Cause Termination clause allows one party to end a contract if the other party breaches specific obligations or engages in misconduct. Typically, this clause outlines the types of breaches or actions that justify termination, such as failure to deliver goods, non-payment, or violation of confidentiality. By providing a clear mechanism for ending the agreement in response to serious issues, the clause protects parties from being bound to a contract when the other side fails to meet essential terms, thereby allocating risk and ensuring accountability.
