A carrier appointment may be terminated as between an ARC accredited agency and any ARC participating carrier

• A. By mutual agreement in writing
• B. At any time by notice in writing from one party to the other
• C. Automatically after 12 months
• D. Only upon non-payment of fees

Answer: (B)

Termination rights in ARC carrier appointments are built to allow either party to end the relationship by written notice. The key idea is that the appointment can be terminated at any time by one party simply sending a written notice to the other. This provides practical flexibility to exit if business needs change, without requiring mutual agreement, a fixed automatic expiry, or a breach-based trigger like non-payment. If it were limited to mutual agreement, or to automatic termination after a set period, or only upon non-payment, those would impose extra conditions not present in this unilateral notice arrangement.
