Sounds more like "rescision of contract"


Explanation:
Normally, caducidad is either "expiry" or "lapse", but both imply an end to the validity due to the passing of a pre-agreed period of time. But a contract is rescinded for OTHER reasons (breach, non-compliance, force majeure, etc.) which are not really ordinary reasons.

contract termination


Explanation:
If there are "causes", it is most probable that the contract is "terminated" by the parties involved, rather than simply expire. But it depends on the context.

invalidity


Explanation:
I seem to be arriving too late on all the KudoZ questions today! However, Cabanellas Hoague gives: "invalidity (of will, contract, etc. due to lapsing)".
