2. (b) That's wrong. If an agent is given authority for a fixed period of time, the authority automatically expires at the end of that period. It will depend on the terms of the particular contract whether the agency was for a fixed period. In the present case, there is a clear express term stating when the agency will expire.

It is also possible for a fixed term for an agency to be implied into a contract by custom or trade usage.
