French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Subcontracting contract for the carriage of merchandise
French term or phrase: dénonciation d'activité et de clientèle
Text from Luxembourg perhaps influence of other languages spoken there, in particular German

1/ Durée.

Le présent contrat est conclu pour une durée de 1 an à compter de la date de commencement de l’activité, soit le : …………………
Il sera renouvelable par tacite reconduction.
Toutefois, il est convenu qu’en cas de dénonciation d’activité ou de clientèle, l’entreprise XXX s’engage à aviser immédiatement le prestataire et ainsi indiquer la date de résiliation de la prestation.

dénonciation d'activité - termination of activity
dénonciation de clientèle - lack of customers

I don't understand the choice of dénonciation. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. By the way, it's pretty urgent!

notice to cease trading and to surrender (the) goodwill
Explanation:
Compare 'Kündigung' in DEU - e.g. des Mietverhätnisses is notice to quit by either side.

The key idea, I believe, is notice, so the main problem is to find the right verb for the clientèle (goodwill > FHS Bridge's FRE/ENG Council of Europe glossary).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for replying so quickly. I had decided to go with "ceasing of the activity or breakdown in customer relationship" to meet delivery deadline but am changing this to your proposal which is so much better.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  B D Finch: Given the Asker's own stab at it, they are lucky you answered in the nick of time!
2 hrs
  -> Merci and thanks! Having been weaned on surrenders of leases, I had been dubious and doubtful about using the terms of surrender or abandonment of goodwill that - compared with an assignment(-back) thereof for payment - is an unlikely scenario in ENG.
neutral  philgoddard: But who is giving notice to whom, and why?
4 hrs
  -> Good questions and ones I was unable to answer within 20 mins. but it's a subcontract, so speculatively from the word order 1. who: entreprise XXX 2. why: on demise of the head contract, the subcontract falls on notice to the prestataire/ subber.
agree  Michael Confais (X)
22 hrs
  -> Merci und danke schön 'im Gegenzug'!
agree  AllegroTrans
1 day 10 hrs
  -> Thanks. A disagree - or even a 'Phillifying' neutral - would have been rather untimely at this late stage.
