When the terms of a contract are unfulfilled by one or more parties a contract is said to be "breached" or the party is said to be in "non-performance". Unless both parties have agreed to changes in the terms of the contract, or the actions of one party have implicitly been accepted by the action (or non-action) of the other party, all terms of a contract must be honored.

Obvious non-performance is a simple matter. Breach of Contract becomes more difficult to pursue when the case turns on issues of the quality of materials or service and the timely completion of a contract.

Breach of contract leaves the nonperforming or improperly performing party open to a claim for damages by the other party. The non-breaching party is relieved of their obligations under the contract by the other party's breach.
