In most cases, “you should be able to terminate the agreement with a letter of cancellation or termination," says Beverley Hourlier, a Realtor with Hilltop Chateau Realty, in San Diego. "Usually either side can terminate this way." But because this is a legal contract, don't just part ways with a handshake.

Either party may end this agreement by serving not less than 3 months' written notice on the other, provided that such notice does not expire less than 6 months after commencement of the Services.

If no fixed term or mechanism for termination was agreed, then the agreement can usually be terminated by giving reasonable notice. Ideally a reasonable notice period should be agreed before notice is given. If this is not possible, legal advice should be sought as to a reasonable notice period.
