The terms can be anything the UK and EU (but that's all of the EU) agrees to, including reentry.
So its reversible, and if there was a change of government that wanted to reverse it I suspect the EU would go along. OTOH, it seems near certain that if a coalition is formed, it will be a Tory-DUP coalition, which won't want to reverse it (the DUP seems to want a softer Brexit, but it's not clear that the EU is interested in that.)
If a government can't be formed.(which doesn't seem implausible), then my understanding is that there is another election in fairly short order.
