Business Contract

California

Asked on Sep 21, 2023

Business contract for temporary projects?

I am a freelancer looking to take on temporary projects. I am currently in the process of creating a business contract for these projects, but I am unsure of what to include in the contract or what rights and responsibilities I should include for both parties. I would like to understand the legal implications of such a contract and ensure that I am adequately protected.

Eddy M.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

You should have a simple template that can be used for multiple projects. The key terms to include are: - Contract period - Your specific responsibilities and deliverables - Fees and payment terms - Who owns the work - Non-disclosure clauses - Termination rights (for both parties) if things don't go well - Indemnification (i.e. if something goes wrong, who is responsible for what) This can be a relatively simple contract that can be revised quickly and for multiple clients. One thing to note is that companies will typically prefer to use their own vendor contracts, so you might end up having to review and use their contract instead of yours.

Asset Purchase Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Oct 12, 2023

Are third-party consents required in an asset purchase agreement?

I am a small business owner looking to purchase a business asset from another company. I have been presented with an Asset Purchase Agreement and I am looking to understand the implications of the agreement. I am particularly interested in whether third-party consents are required in such agreements and what the process would be to obtain such consents.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 15, 2023

Asset Purchase Agreements sometimes, but do not always, require third-party consent. For example, security agreements (like mortgage agreements) typically include clauses prohibiting the debtors from assigning or transferring the assets used to secure the agreement. Similarly, franchise agreements typically contain clauses prohibiting franchisees from assigning or transferring franchise assets. Parties whose assets are subject to these types of "no assignment" clauses will likely need to obtain third-party consent before they can sell those assets.

Customer Contract

Massachusetts

Asked on Jul 23, 2024

Can a company change the terms of a customer contract without notification or consent?

I recently entered into a contract with a company for a monthly subscription service, which outlined specific terms and conditions including the price, duration, and cancellation policy. However, I recently discovered that the company has changed these terms without any notification or consent from me, resulting in increased fees and a longer contract duration. I am concerned about the legality of this situation and whether the company has the right to unilaterally modify the contract without my agreement.

Richard G.

Answered Aug 13, 2024

The answer to your question is, as so many answers in the legal world..."it depends." It depends because it is possible that the company could have included in the original contract with you a clause preserving its right to change its policy without notice (although it could be argued that such a clause is unenforceable in a court) or it original contract may include language in which you waive your right to notice or some other similar waiver. The contract you are referring to in your question would need to be reviewed by an attorney practiced in contract law.

Terms and Conditions

Washington

Asked on Dec 2, 2023

Are oral terms and conditions enforceable?

I am a small business owner who is in the process of creating a new website. I am writing my own terms and conditions for the website, and I want to ensure that they are legally enforceable. I understand that written terms and conditions are legally enforceable, but I am unsure if oral terms and conditions are enforceable in the same way. Therefore, I am seeking your advice on the matter.

Merry K.

Answered Dec 22, 2023

Whether or not oral (verbal) terms and conditions are enforceable may depend in part on how well the written contract makes it 110% clear that no changes can be made unless they're in writing and signed by all parties in advance. Absent that kind of language in the written agreement, or absent any type of written contract, verbal agreements can be enforced - it's more difficult, of course, than if something is in writing.

Work Order

California

Asked on Aug 10, 2024

Can a contractor be held responsible for completing work that was not specified in the work order?

I recently hired a contractor to remodel my kitchen, and we agreed upon the scope of work in a written work order, which included tasks like installing new cabinets, countertops, and flooring. However, during the remodeling process, the contractor also made additional changes to the plumbing layout without my consent, which resulted in additional work and expenses for me. I'm now unsure if the contractor can be held responsible for completing work that was not specified in the original work order, and I would like to know my rights in this situation.

Dolan W.

Answered Sep 20, 2024

I'm so sorry about this situation! So generally, the answer to your question is that the contractor is generally not entitled to the extra money. The law requires that your home improvement contracts include a clause that states that a change order for extra work will be incorporated into the contract and shall only become a part of the contract only if it is in writing and signed by the parties prior to the commencement of any work, covered by a change order. Accordingly, the law would generally allow you to avoid having to pay for this extra work since it was likely not in the contract and not consented to in advance.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
