Before you sign: the right to end the deal

The clause that lets them end the deal early

• Find the exit clause. It often sits under Termination, or Termination for Convenience.
• Check who may use it. A right that names only one side is a right for one side.
• Check how much notice is required, if any, and how the notice must be given.
• Check what is owed on the way out: finished work, work in progress, and approved costs.
• Check what happens to unfinished work, and who owns it once the deal ends.
• Ask for an exit both sides share, a notice period, and pay for work done.
