As of 13 August 2026, AI cannot create a termination clause for a UK business agreement.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface gets you a draft, but you cannot verify it yourself. That is the catch.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current agreement and copy the governing law, definitions, term, payment, breach, insolvency, confidentiality, intellectual property, data protection and survival provisions.
   2. Write down the commercial decisions the clause must reflect, including termination without cause, notice periods, breach and cure periods, immediate termination events, and what happens after termination.
   3. Remove unnecessary personal or confidential information, then paste the copied provisions and decisions into the prompt with the jurisdiction completed.
   4. Ask the model to produce the decision list, draft clause, assumptions, cross-references and unresolved points exactly as requested in the prompt.
   5. Compare every defined term, notice requirement and cross-reference in the draft against the current agreement, and mark any mismatch for correction rather than accepting the model's wording.
   6. Send the agreement, the proposed clause and the model's list of unresolved points to a UK solicitor for review before signing, relying on the solicitor's amended wording as the final version.

   Prompt

   You are helping prepare a draft for a UK business agreement, not giving legal advice. Draft a termination clause for the agreement described below, using plain and precise contract language. Do not invent facts, dates, notice periods, fees, remedies or legal conclusions. Show each assumption separately and mark any missing decision as [TO CONFIRM].
   
   Jurisdiction and governing law: [for example, England and Wales, or Scotland]
   Agreement type: [describe the agreement]
   Parties: [briefly describe each party]
   Term: [fixed term or ongoing]
   Termination without cause: [allowed or not allowed, and required notice if known]
   Termination for breach: [which breaches should qualify, whether a cure period applies, and the proposed period if known]
   Immediate termination events: [for example, insolvency, loss of a required licence, change of control, or illegality]
   Consequences of termination: [payment of accrued sums, return or deletion of information, handover, confidentiality, intellectual property, data protection and any continuing obligations]
   Related agreement wording: [paste the relevant definitions, term, payment, breach, insolvency, confidentiality, intellectual property, data protection and survival provisions]
   Commercial objective and risks to avoid: [describe them]
   
   First list the decisions a solicitor must confirm. Then produce one draft clause with numbered subclauses. Explain how each subclause fits the information supplied. Identify conflicts with the pasted agreement, undefined terms and points that need a solicitor's review. Do not say the clause is enforceable or suitable without that review. This is not professional advice.
