Text: A. Either party may terminate this agreement upon written notice effective immediately in event of either party defaulting in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this contract. B. Distributor shall be subject to termination in the event that the Distributor's sales volume does not attain the level of 2 (two) Ryko inbay rollover car washes per yearly quarter or 4 (four) units semi-annually. C. Upon termination of this contract, Distributor shall immediately return to the Company all current sales and promotional equipment, supplies, literature, manuals, aids and data of all kinds and nature, pertaining to the Company's product. This will be done at Distributor's expense and if approved credited to Distributor's account from the final billing. D. Company shall prepare a final statement supported by invoices to the Distributor by regular mail. Distributor shall pay such statement within 30 days of the date of the statement. 2 See, e.g. American Bronze Corp v. Streamway Products, 8 Ohio App.3d 223, 456 N.E.2d 1295 (1982) (a contract for production of a specific number of units is not indefinite in duration); Panhandle Agri-Service, Inc. v. Becker, 231 Kan. 291, 644 P.2d 413 (1982) (a contract for the sale of a definite amount of hay during a crop year is not indefinite in duration even though the contract was extended to the next year because of a crop shortage); Hayes v. Northwood Panelboard Co., 415 N.W.2d 687 (Minn.App.1987) (letter agreement contained no express or implied duration term therefore the agreement was of indefinite duration); Parker Marking Systems v. Diagraph-Bradley Ind., 80 N.C.App. 177, 341 S.E.2d 92, 94, review denied, 317 N.C. 336, 346 S.E.2d 502 (1986) (grant of summary judgment reversed because conflicting affidavits created material issues of fact regarding whether the parties had otherwise agreed regarding termination rights) 3 Delta argues that, because Ryko drafted the agreement, ambiguities must be resolved in favor of Delta. Interpetrol Bermuda Limited v. Kaiser Aluminum, 719 F.2d 992, 998 (9th Cir.1984). In light of the presumption in favor of contracts terminable at will, the contract is not ambiguous and we need not resort to rules of construction for ambiguous contracts
