Its whole job is the commitment boundary. Price, cadence and invoices stay with the Subscription, and attaching a contract never moves a subscription's service or invoice dates. The field the entity exists for is the term length, because term length is not billing cadence: an annual commitment paid monthly is a twelve-month term on a monthly subscription. A contract with no term is evergreen, which is the honest shape for an MSA. One contract may cover several subscriptions; a subscription takes its committed term from exactly one, so the boundary always has a single source. When the boundary arrives, the contract's renewal terms decide: an auto-renewing commitment rolls into its next term (the signing date never moves — the term count goes up and the end is re-derived from it), one that ends does not renew past the boundary, and one that renews unless notice is given raises a single item in the renewal approval queue as soon as the notice window opens and blocks the boundary until it is decided. A contract narrows a renewal rather than forcing one. ## How it connects This concept highlighted in context. Click a peer to navigate.
