The asymmetric notice requirement creates different operational timelines for service discontinuation: Anthropic must provide advance notice before terminating for convenience, while the customer may terminate without notice. This structure establishes procedural conditions for service continuity and resource planning for both parties.
The customer may terminate the service immediately upon notice for any reason, while Anthropic must provide 30 days' advance notice before terminating for convenience. If either party materially breaches, the other party may initiate termination by providing 30 days' notice and specifying the breach, giving 30 days to cure.
