Contract term

Notice period

The minimum advance notice one party must give the other before terminating or declining to renew a contract, counted in days before the relevant date.

A notice period sets how far in advance you must act. For terminations it runs before the termination date; for non-renewals it runs before expiry.

Because notice periods are counted backwards from a future date, they are easy to miss — the obligation is invisible until the window is already closing.

StartedUp turns each notice period into a dated deadline and alerts you at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before it.
