How do I tell whether a termination was valid?
Check three points: did the contract or law give a termination right, was the stated reason true and documented, and was the notice given in the required form and time? A defect in any of them can make the termination invalid.
What should I do on receiving a termination letter?
Do not reply in anger, and do not sign anything. Preserve the letter and the delivery method. Send us the contract and the notice. A hasty reply can waive rights or accept the termination.
What can I recover?
Compensation for proven loss caused by the termination, such as lost margin during the remaining term and costs already committed. Courts look for proof, so the claim rests on your accounts. Also see agency termination where a registered agency is involved.

Can a contract be terminated without reason?
Only if the contract allows it, and even then the way it is used can be challenged. We read the clause.
Can I keep performing after a wrongful termination?
That depends on the circumstances. Take advice, because continuing or stopping both have consequences for your claim.
