Yes anyone can back out of a relationship at any time.

I think I confused the issue by using my relationship as an example. I shouldn't have, since I am implying that they are backing out of the relationship instead of backing out of the contract itself.
Regardless though, I'm still curious as to whether or not 10 years down the road if that clause will still be in place?

Backing out of a contract in the early stages is much different and has less complications than backing out much later on when rules and habits are in place.
