Breach of Contract Notice

A Breach of Contract Notice (which can also be called a Notice to Rectify a Breach of Contract) is a document by which a party to a contract informs the other party that they have breached the agreement. A "breach" simply means that one party didn't fully fulfil the obligations they were supposed to under the contract. In that case, the non-breaching party would use this form to let them know about the issue.

If the employee breaches the Employment Agreement, instead of this letter a separate Employee Warning Letter can be used.

If the party does not rectify the breach within the period mentioned in the notice a Letter for Termination of Agreement can be used to terminate the agreement.

How to use this document?

This document can generally be used for any party to any contract. The contract can be as complex as a contract for a corporate business dealing, or it can be as simple as a simple maintenance service agreement. Regardless, this form will include everything that the breaching party needs to know.

After it is filled out, this document should be sent to the recipient in a way that is mentioned in the original contract. If no method of communication is mentioned in the original contract, the notice can be sent to the recipient through email, registered post or directly handed over to the recipient. One copy should be kept with the sender, and one should be sent to the recipient.

Applicable law

Breach of Contract Notices in India are subject to the Indian Contract Act, of 1872 because the underlying contracts for personal or business transactions are subject to the said Act.
