# Default notice

A notice from the other party saying you are in breach and must put it right, often the first step towards termination.

## Further detail

A default notice alleges a contractual failure and may require it to be corrected. It is different from a default payment notice. The validity and consequences depend on the clause, service requirements, stated breach and any opportunity to remedy it.

Keep the notice and delivery evidence, and check deadlines immediately.
