What could be a result of a mutual termination of a contract?

A mutual termination of a contract occurs when all parties involved agree to end the contract, effectively releasing each other from their obligations under that agreement. As a result, all parties are typically released from any further obligations they might have had, thereby allowing for a clean break from the contractual relationship.

This outcome reflects the legal principle that mutual consent can extinguish a contract, meaning that the commitments outlined in the agreement no longer bind the parties. Without any outstanding obligations, the parties are free to pursue other opportunities or engage in new agreements without the constraints of the terminated contract.

In contrast, retaining existing obligations or keeping the contract enforceable would contradict the fundamental purpose of a mutual termination. Similarly, requiring one party to compensate another would imply that some termed obligation still exists, which would not be the case in a scenario where both sides have agreed to terminate their commitments.
