What is meant by Termination of contracts?
The term "contract termination" refers to the process by which an existing contract is legally ended. This can occur through mutual agreement between the parties, termination, withdrawal, or due to special circumstances such as breach of contract. The termination of a contract generally releases both parties from their contractual obligations, although obligations such as compensation or restitution may still apply.
