# Early Termination Buyer The Passage Vault is also the designated counterparty for “early termination offers,” if a passage trader wishes to “close” or “sell” their position prior to expiration. On the active passage tab of the My Trades page, the user can request a sell-price quote from the Vault, which will be at a discount to the current value shown. \ \ The discount will vary based on many different factors. The reason it is discounted is because the current value assumes both sides hold their positions until the contract terminates. There is a penalty for breaking a contract early, as the seller is denying the other side of the trade a potentially larger profit opportunity. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
