independent contract termination

Location: New Zealand and New Zealand

Hi, I’m currently working as an independent contractor for a New Zealand-based company, but I’m being treated more like a full-time employee — with fixed hours and no flexibility, which I think goes against the nature of independent contracting.

Long story short, I’ve experienced micromanagement, discrimination, and inappropriate behavior from the team. This toxic and stressful environment has severely affected my mental health and well-being.

Due to this, I’ve decided to terminate my contract effective immediately.

As per the agreement, there is no specified end date and no clause requiring a turnover process. While the contract does express a desire for a long-term partnership, I’d like to ask if I am breaking any rules or contract at this point? Thank you
