Termination for convenience clause

A contract provision allowing either party to end the engagement without cause, typically with a notice period, as distinct from termination for breach.

Example

A retainer contract's termination-for-convenience clause allows either party to end the relationship with 30 days' written notice, for any reason, without needing to prove the other party breached the agreement.

Why it matters for agencies

Not scope-specific, but relevant to the same MSA a good exclusions clause and revision limit clause live in — worth reviewing together, since an agency's overall risk on a client relationship depends on both how easily either side can exit and how tightly scope is controlled while the relationship continues.
