Contracts
Liability Waiver
Kansas
Is a liability waiver enforceable if it was signed under duress?
I recently participated in a recreational activity where I was required to sign a liability waiver before being allowed to participate. However, I felt pressured to sign the waiver, as the staff did not provide any opportunity to review the document or seek legal advice. I am now wondering if the waiver is enforceable since it was signed under duress and if I would still be held liable for any injuries sustained during the activity.
Cherie M.
Thank you for your question. From the facts you presented, this would not be duress. You could argue undue influence since they were pressuring you, but it lacks the duress element since you could have just not participated. Kansas is also very generous in favoring the enforceability of liability waivers, so the specific facts of the incident and the terms of the waiver would have to be taken into consideration. Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Catering Services Agreement
New York
Can a catering services agreement be terminated if the caterer fails to provide the agreed-upon services?
I hired a catering company to provide food and beverage services for my upcoming event, and we entered into a catering services agreement that outlined the scope of services, menu, and payment terms. However, the caterer has been unresponsive and has failed to provide any updates or confirmations leading up to the event. With the event approaching, I'm concerned about their ability to fulfill their obligations and wondering if I have grounds to terminate the agreement and seek alternative catering services.
Randy M.
If your caterer has stopped responding and missed key confirmations as your event approaches, you may be within your rights to cancel the agreement. Under contract law, when one party clearly fails to meet essential obligations, or shows signs they won’t follow through, the other party may be released from their responsibilities. When You Can Cancel 1. Material Breach. If your caterer isn’t communicating and you can’t finalize your menu or logistics, that’s more than a minor problem. It may qualify as a material breach—meaning they’ve failed to deliver something critical to the agreement. In catering, timing and communication are central. If they’re missing in action, you may have grounds to walk away. 2. Anticipatory Breach. If it appears your caterer isn’t going to show up—such as ignoring multiple follow-ups as your event nears—you don’t have to wait for them to officially back out. Their silence may count as an anticipatory breach, which allows you to end the contract and secure a replacement in advance. Review the Agreement Before taking action, read the contract closely. Pay attention to: • Termination clauses: Are there specific steps or notice rules you need to follow? • Cure periods: Do you have to give them a certain number of days to fix the issue? • Refund or cancellation policies: Do they address partial payments or deposits? • Force majeure clauses: These usually cover uncontrollable events like natural disasters, not a vendor’s failure to communicate. Your Next Steps • Keep detailed records Save emails, texts, and call logs, noting dates and unanswered messages. This creates a paper trail that supports your decision if challenged. • Send a demand for assurance Before canceling, send a written request asking them to confirm they’ll perform. Be specific about what they’ve failed to do, set a 24- to 48-hour deadline if the event is near, and state that if they don’t respond, you’ll treat it as repudiation. This process reflects the concept of “adequate assurance” under UCC § 2-609, often applied to service contracts. • Provide formal notice If they don’t respond, send a termination notice in writing. Refer to their lack of performance or failure to reply, and follow any notice requirements in the contract—such as sending it by certified mail. • Find a replacement You’re expected to minimize your losses, so line up another caterer as soon as possible. If the replacement costs more, you may be able to recover the difference, provided the cost is reasonable. Potential Remedies If termination is justified, you may be able to recover: • Deposits or payments already made • Additional costs from hiring a replacement caterer • Other foreseeable expenses, such as venue penalties or last-minute rental fees A Word of Caution Your ability to recover money depends heavily on the contract language. A “non-refundable deposit” clause may complicate refunds, though you can argue that keeping the deposit is unfair when the caterer failed to perform. If significant amounts are at stake, consult a lawyer. Outcomes depend on local law and the specifics of your agreement. If you need guidance, the attorneys at Contracts Counsel can help you review your contract and advise you on your next steps.
Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
Illinois
How to ensure fairness in a contractor agreement?
I am an independent contractor that is about to enter into an agreement with a company. I am looking to ensure that the agreement is fair and beneficial for both parties. I want to make sure that my rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the agreement and that I am not being taken advantage of. I am looking for advice on how to ensure that the agreement is fair and equitable.
Jeff A.
You're correct that your agreement should be fair and beneficial to both parties involved. Often, however, when an independent contractor receives an agreement from a company, that proposed agreement has been drafted to be favorable to the company, because that's the company's primary interest. In order to ensure the agreement is fair and equitable, you'd need to identify the business and legal provisions that are drafted in a way that protects the company but not you, and either strike those provisions entirely (if the terms are unreasonable), or suggest they be written in a mutual form. Some common examples of these provisions are warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitation of liability, and exclusivity.

Terms and Conditions
Florida
Why are terms and conditions long?
I am a small business owner who is in the process of creating a website for my business. I have been researching terms and conditions for websites, and I noticed that most of them are very long. I want to make sure that my terms and conditions are comprehensive to protect my business, but I am worried that if they are too long, customers may not read them. That is why I am asking why terms and conditions are so long.
Diane D.
Because every type of situation needs to be covered to protect you. That cannot be done in a paragraph or two.
Contracts
Noncompetition Agreement
New York
Looking for legal advice on a non-compete agreement in NY State
I am an existing employee of a medium sized privately owed manufacturing company and have worked here for over 15 years. I recently was asked to sign a non-compete and non-disclosure agreement. I have had a series of promotions over the last 7 years but this agreement was presented several months after my latest promotion without any additional consideration for signing this agreement now.
Donya G.
Signing a non compete or a non disclosure is not in and of itself illegal. In NY and in most states a non compete are individually accessed based on the language and scope (how long and what the non compete entails) and is generally examined by courts under a watchful eye as long as its not too restrictive or burdensome and would not prevent the free movement of goods and services. In order to advise you on your agreement, I would need to review it to advise you. If you need additional assistance, you may contact me directly on Contracts Counsel to engage my services. All the best. Donya Gordon
