- Cataclysms, disasters, natural disasters.
- Terrorist attacks, war, street riots.
- The state ban on the provision of information services of a certain kind.
If one of the above circumstances has occurred, then the execution period of the order is postponed to another time. The law provides that the maximum term for suspension of a contract is 60 days. Subsequently, the agreement is canceled.
Termination
Like any agreement, the contract in question can be terminated for the following reasons:
- By mutual agreement of the parties.
- Through the judiciary.
- Unilaterally.
If the cancellation is carried out by agreement of the parties, then you need to sign a document in which the customer and client confirm the absence of claims against each other. It must specify the following:
- F. I. O. and contact details.
- Agreement number.
- Cause.
- Obligations of the customer and client.
- Claims.
- Compensation (if any).

An agreement may be canceled unilaterally if:
- The terms of the contract were not respected.
- The order was not executed.

- The need to complete the transaction has disappeared.
At the same time, the party terminating the contract is obliged to notify the other party of the termination of the transaction by sending a registered letter in which the reason must be indicated. Upon receipt of consent, the contract is terminated, and a corresponding act is drawn up about this. If the other party does not agree with this, the matter is decided through the court.
