Spanish term or phrase: Extinción del contrato
This is a chapter in a tender document. I don't want to use termination because in the subheadings there are cumplimiento and resolución which I have translated as fulfilment/performance and termination.
It is quite high register - but not bright enough this afternoon to think a smooth translation - all help appreciated
