# Terminating a Contract

{% hint style="info" %}
Terminate is for Contracts that have already been **fully signed**. If you need to end a Contract that hasn't finished being signed yet, see [Withdrawing a Contract](/knowledge-base/administrator-help-guides/contracts/withdrawing-a-contract.md) instead.
{% endhint %}

The first step is to click on "Contracts" on the left hand side of your dashboard. Here you will find a list of all Contracts, alongside the Applicant, the Grant, the Amount and the Status. Select the relevant *active* (fully signed) Contract.

When you click on an active Contract, you will be taken to the screen below. Click on the red button - "Terminate Contract".

You will then be prompted to write a reason for the termination (for your Organisation's records - this will not go through to the Applicant). Then click "Next".

The next step is creating the letter that will go to the Applicant to advise why the Contract is being terminated. This can be done through using a pre-existing template, or you can create a new one. You can also choose a **Letter Signatory** — separate from whoever reviews the letter — whose details appear on the letter itself. You can preview the letter prior to sending using the "Preview Template" option.

Once you're happy with the Letter, you can then choose to send this to another Admin within your Organisation for review, or you can send it directly to the Applicant.

## Changed your mind?

If you're partway through the termination process (reason and/or letter written, but not yet sent) you can revert it from the Contract's Actions menu — this puts the Contract back to its fully signed, active state with nothing sent to the Applicant.
