Answer : A, B, C

A termination for convenience clause outlines the responsibilities when a contract is ended early by mutual agreement (p.135).

Destroying confidential data prevents misuse.

Smooth service transition minimizes disruptions.

A review meeting is not mandatory, so it is incorrect. [P.135]

Question 7

Mustard Ltd contracted Red Ltd for IT services, requiring 98% internet connectivity.

Red Ltd has only achieved 90% connectivity despite multiple meetings.

Mustard Ltd now seeks to terminate the contract.

Q: Can Mustard Ltd terminate the contract?

Answer Options:

AYes -- connectivity was written into the contract, and Red Ltd is failing to deliver

BYes -- since previous meetings have failed to resolve the issue, termination is justified

CNo -- Red Ltd should be given more time to fix the issue

DNo -- the contract would not allow for termination

Answer : D

Connectivity is listed as a warranty, not a condition (p.125).

Warranty breaches allow for damages but do not permit contract termination.

If it were a 'condition' instead of a warranty, termination would be allowed. [P.125]
