When an easement is created for a fixed period, it lasts only until that date, and ends automatically once the period expires. No additional action is needed for termination—the agreed-upon timeframe itself closes the rights granted by the easement. This differs from termination by prescription, which relates to gaining easement rights through long-term use, or lack of purpose, which concerns whether the easement still serves a need. So ending by the expiration of the mutually agreed time period is the mechanism at work.
