Termination Of Purchase Agreement

A termination of purchase agreement is a contract between a buyer and seller that nullifies the terms of an existing purchase agreement. The contract includes details about which purchase agreement is being terminated, for what reason, and what the effective date on the contract is. If the purchase agreement is being terminated as a result of either party violating the terms of the original contract, the termination of purchase agreement also includes details about what other consequences might be in place.

The purpose of the termination of purchase agreement is to make the end of relationship legally recognizable. It also protects both parties from being held to legal requirements in the original contract after the end of their relationship.
