Outsourcing Agreement
An Outsourcing Agreement governs the delegation of business functions to an external provider, defining scope, service levels, and performance standards. This playbook highlights key risk mitigation strategies for data protection, continuity, and liability allocation.
Termination Rights
Negotiation strategy
Ensure termination clauses provide flexibility to exit the contract without incurring excessive penalties. Negotiate for a reasonable notice period and transition support to minimize operational disruptions.
Seek to limit termination rights to protect ongoing revenue streams. Advocate for a longer notice period and compensation for transition support to cover potential losses.
Essential elements
1
Termination for Convenience
Allows ending contract with notice.
2
Termination for Cause
Immediate termination for breach.
3
Transition Support Obligations
Support during contract exit.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits to ensure notice periods and transition support are clearly defined and reasonable.
EDIT
Reject clauses that impose excessive penalties or lack clear termination conditions.
ADD

PRO TIP
Always ensure termination clauses are aligned with jurisdiction-specific legal requirements to avoid enforceability issues.
Real-world examples

Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, termination clauses should include detailed transition support to mitigate potential operational impacts and ensure continuity.
Long-Term Contracts
For long-term contracts, consider including periodic review clauses to reassess termination rights and ensure they remain fair and balanced.
Cross-Border Agreements
In cross-border agreements, ensure termination clauses comply with the legal requirements of all relevant jurisdictions to avoid enforceability issues.
