Absence of specific time provisions; notice of termination
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The time for shipment or delivery or any
other action under a contract if not provided in this chapter or
agreed upon shall be a reasonable time.
(2) Where the contract provides for successive performances
but is indefinite in duration it is valid for a reasonable time but
unless otherwise agreed may be terminated at any time by either
party.
(3) Termination of a contract by one party except on the happening of an agreed event requires that reasonable notification be
received by the other party and an agreement dispensing with notification is invalid if its operation would be unconscionable.
In this case, although the parties’ agreements showed that the defendant did not
promise to meet a strict deadline, that didn’t mean that the defendant’s delays could
not qualify as a material breach. Under sub. (1), even when no time for performance
is identified in a sales agreement, a party must complete performance in a reasonable time. Oregon Potato Co. v. Kerry Inc., 575 F. Supp. 3d 1064 (2021).
