5.4.6. Termination

The operation termination of a contract puts an end to a policy, loan, pension, master agreement or contract within a master agreement.

*The functions, variants and structures concerning pension and loan are under construction and will follow in due time.

How to use variants

If you want to terminate a contract, choose the operation termination. If a particular handling variant is requested, use a variant. If not, select the default variant. The variant determines which attributes are mandatory.

A positive response for the operation termination contains the AFD structure of the request as reference, with the result of the transaction (process.statusType).The requested information that was collected during the transaction, is also added to the output.

Different scenarios are possible, for example:

• If there is no immediate result available (because of manual processing), then the status is in process (pending).
• If the operation is accepted, then a complete return message (input message completed with result data) is returned.
  

If a negative response is generated, which means the request is technically incorrect, it follows the general rules as described in the Error section of the HTTP status codes and error handling chapter.

Variants

The operation termination has multiple variants for contract (with and without restitution of surrender value) and offer.

U/C: Under construction.

<default> – Terminate the contract

The variant default is used, if a contract is terminated without restitution of a surrender value.

policyStructure

The policyStructure is used for the termination of a policy without restitution of a surrender value (default variant). The mandatory attributes (in a generic way) are listed in the table Mandatory input and/or output (I/O) attributes.

masterAgreementStructure

The masterAgreementStructure is used for the termination of a masterAgreement without restitution of a surrender value (default variant). The mandatory attributes (in a generic way) are listed in the table Mandatory input and/or output (I/O) attributes.

Endpoint definition

If the complete masterAgreement (including the underlying contracts) should be terminated, one path parameter ({masterAgreementId}) is included in the endpoint. This is shown in the table below.

Method	Endpoint	Request	Query parameter(s)	Response	Remarks
PATCH	{ uri }/master-agreements/{masterAgreementId}/termination	masterAgreementStructure	N/A	masterAgreementStructure

If not the complete masterAgreement should be terminated, but only a particular contract within that masterAgreement, two path parameter ({masterAgreementId} and {contractId}) are included in the endpoint. This is shown in the table below. Note: in real life endpoints you should use policies, loans or pensions and their respective Ids ({policyId}, {loanId} or {pensionId}) instead of contracts (and {contractId}).
