A counterparty is not performing and the instinct is to stop and walk away.
But termination rights depend on the contract's own terms. Terminating without a valid right, or without following the required notice procedure, can itself be a repudiatory breach — and the party who was wronged becomes the party liable.

What is Legal That Works?

Can we terminate for any breach?
Usually only for breaches the contract identifies, or for a repudiatory breach. Not every failure qualifies.
What is a notice to remedy?
A formal notice requiring the breach to be cured within a stated period. Many contracts require it before termination.
