| Comment: You have some choices: If you want the license to terminate automatically at the end of the term, use this language. If you don’t, see below. |
or
[This License shall commence on [date] and shall remain in effect [until {date}] [for {three} years from that date, and shall continue thereafter to be in effect unless terminated by either party by six months written notice to the other.]
| Comment: With this language, the contract renews automatically unless a party gives six months notice in writing. Six months seems a bit long, two or three months is better. You always want notice in writing. Best option is a print letter and e-mail notice. |
