PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES
Statement of Work (SOW)
A Statement of Work defines the specific deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities under a broader master agreement. This playbook offers frameworks for drafting precise scopes, managing milestones, and mitigating disputes over performance.
Termination Rights
Negotiation strategy
Ensure termination rights are clearly defined to allow flexibility in exiting the contract if business needs change. Negotiate for reasonable notice periods and cure opportunities to mitigate potential risks.
Advocate for balanced termination provisions that protect against abrupt contract termination. Seek to include cure periods for breaches and ensure liabilities are proportionate.
Essential elements
1
Notice Requirements
Written notice delivery terms.
2
Cure Period
Time to remedy breaches.
3
Post-Termination Obligations
Duties after contract ends.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if notice periods are too short or cure periods are insufficient.
EDIT
Reject if termination rights are overly restrictive or one-sided.
ADD
Add language for jurisdiction-specific compliance or missing post-termination obligations.
PRO TIP
Always ensure termination clauses align with your business's strategic goals and risk management policies.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Balanced Termination for Convenience
"Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon providing the other party with thirty (30) days written notice. Such termination shall not affect any rights or obligations accrued prior to the effective date of termination."
NEUTRAL
Standard Termination for Breach
"In the event that either party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to the breaching party. The breaching party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cure the breach."
UNFAVORABLE
Unilateral Termination Rights
"The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice or cause, while the Contractor must provide sixty (60) days notice."
Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, termination rights should include specific triggers related to project milestones and performance metrics to ensure accountability.
Long-Term Contracts
For long-term contracts, consider including periodic review clauses to reassess termination rights and ensure they remain relevant and fair.
Cross-Border Agreements
Cross-border agreements may require additional termination provisions to address jurisdictional differences and ensure enforceability across regions.
