No, DONE shifts it to the repeat date and like this it will never end.

In this case I would vote for to use a new property.
An example like
* TODO send weekly report
DEADLINE: <2013-07-27 Sat 18:00 ++1w -1d>
could then be terminated with
* TODO send weekly report until end of terminated contract
DEADLINE: <2013-07-27 Sat 18:00 ++1w -1d>
END_DATE: <2013-12-31 Tue>
When implementing this, consider also whether the END_DATE should be an
agenda entry on its own and of which kind, warning period etc. I tried
to make an example that shows this issue.
