The contract end date is when the terms of the contract are no longer legally binding. It marks the completion of the work agreed upon and the end of contractual obligations. Having a clear end date is important because it ensures everyone knows when the contract ends and what needs to be done until then.
A contract with an indefinite duration—often termed a perpetual contract—generally has one of two characteristics. Either the contract may call for successive performances without specifying a final performance, or it may fail to specify a duration.
Some are just packing codes and some are packing dates. Because federal law does not require dating, there may not even be a stamped date on the product. a can if it is bulging, leaking, or rusty, even if it has not expired.

Required Completion Dates means collectively, or individually, the completion dates established by the Agreement, including but not limited to the Project Substantial Completion Date, Contractor Substantial Completion Dates, the Final Completion Date, or the Scheduled Completion dates.
The contract does not become open-ended and the contractor is still obliged to complete the works. Time being at large simply means that the completion date is not specified or calculable by reference to the contract and must therefore be determined with reference to what is reasonable in the circumstances.
Starting a contract without a clear end date raises critical questions about duration and termination rights. These agreements—often referred to as "indefinite" or "perpetual" contracts—remain active until specific events trigger their end.
Indefinite contracts do not have a fixed end date; instead, they remain in effect until terminated by one of the parties under specified conditions, known as “cause.” These conditions could include breach of contract, failure to meet performance standards, or mutual agreement to conclude the contract.
A perpetual contract, unlike an open-ended contract, does not require any specific conditions or actions for termination. Instead, these contracts continue indefinitely until one party decides to terminate or there is a breach of contract.
You can terminate such contracts through: Written notice in line with contract terms. Mutual agreement. Material breach of obligations. Completion of required deliverables.
