(2) expiration of the term agreed upon by the parties;

(3) termination of the relationship by mutual agreement of the parties; or

(4) termination of the relationship by written notice from either party to the other as provided in the brokerage services agreement, if applicable, except that a termination does not otherwise affect the contractual rights of either party.

(2) to not disclose confidential information if there was an agency relationship, except under subpoena, court order, or otherwise as provided by law or as expressly authorized by the applicable party.

d. With respect to the termination of disclosed dual agent relationships, absent a termination by expiration or fulfillment by a completed closing, brokerage services agreements between a disclosed dual agent and a buyer and a seller shall otherwise only be terminated in writing signed by the buyer or seller, as applicable, with confirmed delivery to the disclosed dual agent.
