Cancellation Agreement: Definition & Sample

A cancellation agreement is an agreement where the parties legally end their contractual relationship and the cancel the contract. The agreement specifies the parties, the cancellation reasons, and how and when the cancelation takes place. All parties in the original contract must sign the cancellation agreement. The agreement will include any obligations that survive the cancelation and may include an optional mutual release of claims.

The terms cancellation and termination are sometimes used interchangeably. However, a cancellation occurs when one party ends contract because the other party has breached it. A termination can also refer to the legal ending of a contract without it being considered a breach.
