A breach of a minor term in a contract does not entitle an aggrieved party to abandon obligations under a contract. However, the aggrieved party may still be entitled to damages for the breach. The distinction between a minor term and a major term is important because a breach of a major term would entitle the aggrieved party to treat the breach as discharging the contract.
