NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL OF CONTRACT TEMPLATE FAQ

What is a notice of non-renewal of contract?

A Notice of Non-Renewal of Contract is a written notice stating that one party does not intend to renew a contract when the current term ends. It identifies the agreement, the non-renewal decision, and the effective end date.

When should you send a non-renewal notice?

Send it within the notice window required by the contract (for example, 30, 60, or 90 days before the renewal date). If you miss the window, the contract may auto-renew. This template includes fields to match your contract’s notice requirements.

What should be included in the notice?

Include: the contract name, effective date, parties, the current term end date, the required notice period, instructions for final invoices or deliverables, return of confidential information/property, and where to send confirmations.

Does a non-renewal notice terminate the contract immediately?

No. It typically ends the contract at the end of the current term (unless the contract allows earlier termination). The parties must usually continue performing through the end date and settle final obligations.

What if the contract has an automatic renewal clause?

That’s the most common reason to send a non-renewal notice. This letter helps create a record that you opted out of renewal within the required timeframe.
