neutral  Akram Darwish: You are definitely right, but the most commonly used phrase is "termination of the contract"
52 mins
  -> thanks Akram, you're right, avoidance is a kind of termination, depending on whether the definition fits the context. Thanks for pointing it out! :-) Deborah

agree  zax: If you mean " to void the contract".
1 hr
  -> thanks zax, yes, and the best translation will depend on the context. Enjoy your day :-) Deborah

Rescind the contract


Explanation:

rescind
v. to cancel a contract, putting the parties back to the position as if the contract had not existed. Both parties rescind a contract by mutual agreement, since a unilateral cancellation of a contract is a "breach" of the contract and could result in a lawsuit by the non-cancelling party.
