That's indeed what I meant.

It's not necessarily an issue: if the other party is of good faith, you 
can probably discuss with them and have them cure the default; if they 
are of bad faith, they won't cure and some more determined action may be 
needed. Then, you'd be able to ask a judge to terminate the contract.
