Cure Periods: The Contract Feature That Prevents Instant Terminations

Ever been blindsided by a contract termination? In Florida, cure periods are your shield against sudden business disruption. A cure period is a contractual window that allows a party to fix a breach before the other party can terminate the agreement. This feature is especially critical in commercial contracts, where relationships and investments are on the line.

Florida law, including Fla. Stat. § 672.309, recognizes the importance of notice and opportunity to cure. If your contract includes a cure period, you must be notified of the breach and given a set number of days to resolve it. Without this provision, you could face immediate termination—no warning, no recourse. Many business owners overlook cure periods, leaving themselves exposed to costly disputes and lost opportunities.

To protect your business, review all contracts for cure period clauses. Specify the length of the cure period and the notice requirements. If you’re negotiating a new agreement, insist on clear language that gives you time to address issues. Deadlines matter: missing a cure period can mean losing your contract and your business relationship. Our firm helps Florida business owners draft, review, and enforce cure period provisions to safeguard their interests.
