# Expire Contracts with Brands

You can expire your contract with a brand if you no longer want to be part of their program. If you want to reapply to the brand after expiring their contract, you’ll need to go through the [standard application and approval process](https://help.impact.com/partner/platform-features/working-with-brands/applying-to-brands/find-and-apply-to-brands) or sign up via their direct sign-up link.

Actions may still track and credit you after expiring a contract, but these actions will come through as "outside of terms". No commissions can be earned from them. You can't deactivate your account when you have active contracts—all your contracts must be expired first.
