Want out ... but can't find a termination clause!

In practice most people will let you buy your way out of a contract. Offer to cover the agency's losses by paying them whatever their margin would have been for whatever's left on the contract.

Best to agree your plan with the client first then go to the agency together with an agreed plan.

I recently started with a new agency and contract.
I'm just over a week in and have been offered a much better job, different agency and company, closer to where my partner works (around 200 miles away).

Re-reading my contract - both the agency and their client appear to have 1 week termination clauses. I appear to have *nothing*!

It's a three month contract! Any suggestions on how to exit quickly and cleanly if the agency and client are sticky on this?

Sorry but you should grin and bear it. If you cant do the time, never sign the contract!

Oh, and next time read your contract before signing it. Its people like you who give the rest of us a bad reputation.

You are exactly the type of contractor that gives your "profession" a bad name.
