mutual agreement
Both parties concur
Mutual agreement is a consensus reached by all parties involved, where everyone consents to the same terms or course of action.
The phrase emphasizes that the agreement isn't one-sided or coerced: They parted ways by mutual agreement.
In legal contexts, mutual agreement is often required for contracts to be valid or modified.
