early termination
Cutting something short
Early termination is ending something before its scheduled completion date.
The phrase appears most often in contracts and agreements: The lease allows early termination with sixty days' notice.
Early termination fees penalize customers who cancel service contracts before the term expires.
In employment contexts, it's a formal way of saying someone was let go: His early termination came as a surprise to everyone.
