terminable
Able to finish
Terminable describes something that can be ended or has a defined endpoint.
A terminable contract expires after a set period or can be canceled under specified conditions.
The word appears mainly in legal and formal contexts, contrasting with arrangements that continue indefinitely: The lease is terminable with thirty days' notice.
