Termination for Cause allows the buyer to cease future shipments from a supplier who has failed to meet the delivery schedule while retaining the right to seek damages for the supplier's failure to perform. This option is used when a supplier breaches the contract terms, such as not adhering to delivery schedules. Terminating for cause is a legally supported action that holds the supplier accountable for their performance and allows the buyer to claim damages or seek remedies for any losses incurred due to the supplier's non-compliance.
