open-ended contract
No termination date
An open-ended contract has no fixed termination date, continuing indefinitely until one party ends it.
Employment contracts are often open-ended, meaning the job continues until the employee quits or is dismissed: She preferred an open-ended contract to a series of fixed-term renewals.
The term contrasts with contracts that expire on a specified date.
