Not always! Sometimes parties can negotiate and keep it going.

I remember discussing how a party can sometimes continue the contract if they can prove no further breaches will happen. So maybe D could be a possibility too?

I’m leaning towards option B because a major breach usually means the contract is over, but I’m not completely confident.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think it was about whether the injured party can still enforce the contract. Maybe option C is correct?

I think the statement is true, but I'm not sure if it applies to all situations. I remember something about affirming a contract after a breach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I need to make sure I understand the Conceptual Framework's definition of a liability before I can confidently select the right answer.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Is the question asking about the specific benefits of DevOps, or just what it generally achieves? I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully before answering.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the WAN deployment requirements for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express to determine the maximum round-trip time.

As someone who's been on the wrong end of a major breach, I can tell you C is the way to go. Nothing worse than being stuck in a bad deal. Affirm and move on, that's my advice!

I'm going to have to go with C. Terminating a contract seems a bit extreme - give the offending party a chance to make it right, I say!

I'm going with B. If there's been a major breach, the contract has to end. No point in trying to salvage it at that point, right? Might as well start fresh.

I think that's a good point. If they can prove they won't breach again, maybe the contract can continue.

D sounds like the right answer to me. The contract can continue if the offending party can convince the other side that they won't breach again. Seems like a reasonable solution.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is C. The injured party can choose to affirm the contract even after a major breach, rather than automatically terminating it.
