						<section id="a"><p><span class="prefix-number">a.</span> Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), a <span class="dictionary">party</span> may not terminate a <span class="dictionary">contract</span> except on the happening of an agreed event, such as the expiration of the stated duration, unless the <span class="dictionary">party</span> gives reasonable notice of termination to the other <span class="dictionary">party</span>. <a id="paragraph-239234" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-506.17/#a"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="b"><p><span class="prefix-number">b.</span> An access <span class="dictionary">contract</span> may be terminated without giving notice. However, except on the happening of an agreed event, termination requires giving reasonable notice to the licensee if the access <span class="dictionary">contract</span> pertains to information owned and provided by the licensee to the licensor. <a id="paragraph-239235" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-506.17/#b"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="c"><p><span class="prefix-number">c.</span> A term dispensing with a notice required under this section is invalid if its operation would be unconscionable. However, a term specifying standards for giving notice is enforceable if the standards are not manifestly unreasonable. <a id="paragraph-239236" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/59.1-506.17/#c"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section></text><history>2000, cc. 101, 996.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
