Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's startup struck a deal with BigTech Corp last fall
Standard termination clause, thirty days to end it all
But hidden in the fine print lay a trap she didn't see
Automatic IP transfer when the contract ceases to be

[Chorus]
Custom exits, craft them tight
WARN before you WALK away right
NOTICE periods, ASSETS clear
TRANSITION plans make endings fair
Don't let standard clauses bite
Termination done just right

[Verse 2]
Marcus learned the hard way when his vendor pulled the plug
Convenience termination left his platform in a rut
No migration assistance, no source code in his hands
Six months to rebuild what took three years to expand

[Chorus]
Custom exits, craft them tight
WARN before you WALK away right
NOTICE periods, ASSETS clear
TRANSITION plans make endings fair
Don't let standard clauses bite
Termination done just right

[Verse 3]
Best practice provisions, map your mutual escape
Data portability, wind-down periods shape
Cure periods for breaches, not just instant guillotine
Graduated consequences keep relationships serene

[Bridge]
Cause and convenience, know the difference well
Cause needs just reasons, convenience rings the bell
Liability survives when contracts meet their end
Choose your language carefully, future costs depend

[Chorus]
Custom exits, craft them tight
WARN before you WALK away right
NOTICE periods, ASSETS clear
TRANSITION plans make endings fair
Don't let standard clauses bite
Termination done just right

[Outro]
When partnerships dissolve, exit gracefully
Leave the door ajar for future harmony
Smart termination clauses pave tomorrow's way
Professional divorce beats courtroom melee
