Termination of construction contract

Terminate, end, finish, discontinue – all mean the same. There is a negative connotation attached to these words. These words do not give a happy feeling when spoken or read. But if words such as begin, start and continue exist, the existence of these words is inevitable.
A Termination Letter is the one that is written to inform that a contract or deal is being done away with or discontinued. Any party, the person who is working or the person who is getting the work done can give it. But this is definitely governed by the terms and conditions that had been mutually agreed upon at the time of signing the contract or deal.
A Termination Letter is a very important legal document so it needs to be very tactfully and carefully worded. It should be short and precise. It should clearly have the name and address of the addressee and the full details of the writer as well. The date when the Termination Letter is being given is a very important part of the letter. The date when the contract and deal has to be terminated is of utmost importance in the Termination Letter.
It is always advisable to print four copies of the letter one each to be kept by both the parties and one each with their respective legal heads to cover the legal aspects. Both the parties should preferably sign the last two copies.
