Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

Influencer Agreement

California

Asked on Jun 23, 2024

Can an influencer agreement be terminated if the influencer fails to meet certain performance metrics?

I am a brand owner and I recently entered into an influencer agreement with a social media influencer to promote my products on their platforms. The agreement stated that the influencer would receive a certain fee and incentives based on their performance metrics, such as reach, engagement, and sales generated. However, the influencer has consistently failed to meet these metrics, resulting in minimal impact on my brand's visibility and sales. As the brand owner, I am concerned about the effectiveness of the agreement and the negative impact it may have on my business. Can I terminate the influencer agreement due to the influencer's failure to meet the agreed-upon performance metrics?

Rhea d.

Answered Jul 23, 2024

If your company wishes to terminate the agreement, the term and termination section of the agreement will cover certain terms (such as the term period, the right to terminate without cause or for breach). If the agreement covers termination without cause, either party can termination. If the agreement is for a certain term period, it may be challenging if you cannot show breach or material breach. If the influencer did not perform in accordance with the description of services, you may have a right to terminate. There may be other terms throughout the agreement which may be in your favor. Please keep in mind that many agreements favor the party who proposed the agreement. Best to have an attorney review the agreement and give you advice regarding options that may be available.

Collaboration Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 22, 2024

Can a collaboration agreement be terminated if one party fails to meet their obligations?

I am currently in a collaboration agreement with another individual for a joint business venture, where we agreed to share resources, responsibilities, and profits. However, it has come to my attention that the other party has consistently failed to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the agreement, such as not contributing their fair share of financial resources and not meeting project deadlines. This has caused significant delays and financial losses for me. I would like to know if I have the legal right to terminate the collaboration agreement due to their breach of contract and seek compensation for the damages incurred.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 29, 2024

I'm so sorry about this situation! The answer is yes. Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the plaintiff. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) The law generally allows you to suspend your performance, much like if you stop paying your cell phone bill, your account is cut off. Also, any contract entered into after January 1, 1986 that does not stipulate the legal rate of interest, the obligation shall bear an interest rate of 10% per year after the breach. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3289.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. You have some options you can explore: You may want to consider just writing a formal demand letter. You can find it here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 You can file a lawsuit in your local court. If you’ve already sent a bunch of letters, then the truth is this is the only way to compel them to do anything. Best of luck! Dolan

Lead Generation Agreement

California

Asked on May 9, 2025

Is a Lead Generation Agreement legally binding if it was signed electronically?

I recently entered into a Lead Generation Agreement with a marketing company to generate leads for my business. The agreement was signed electronically using an online platform. However, I have concerns about the validity and enforceability of the agreement since it was not signed in person. I would like to know if a Lead Generation Agreement signed electronically holds the same legal weight as a traditional, physically signed agreement.

Tabetha H.

Answered May 13, 2025

Yes, your electronically signed Lead Generation Agreement is legally binding. Electronic signatures have the same legal weight as handwritten signatures under federal laws like the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and state laws adopting the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). These laws specifically ensure that contracts cannot be denied enforcement solely because they use electronic signatures. The key requirements are your intent to sign, consent to do business electronically, and proper record retention—all typically handled by reputable e-signature platforms. Your Lead Generation Agreement is just as enforceable as a paper contract, provided both parties intended to create a binding agreement and the essential contract elements are present.

Software Agreement

California

Asked on Aug 11, 2023

Software agreement and dispute resolution?

I am a software developer who recently entered into a software agreement with a business. We have had a few disputes arise during the course of the agreement, and I am not sure how to properly address them. I am looking for advice on how to resolve these disputes in accordance with the terms of the software agreement.

Thaddeus W.

Answered Sep 8, 2023

Dispute resolution under a software agreement or other contract will typically be governed by the terms of the contract. A well-prepared software agreement will include a specific section or other provision saying exactly how a dispute will be resolved. These can (and often should) be very detailed. Sometimes, different types of disputes will have different dispute mechanisms. For example, a dispute over whether a deliverable was accepted may be subject to one approach, a dispute over payment may be governed by another, and a dispute over a claim of a violation of third-party rights by yet a third. Again, it depends on the terms of the contract. Hopefully, your contract includes a clear and specific provision for dispute resolution. If not, then you would default to trying to work it out. If that is not realistic, if the parties are willing to try mediation, that is often far more preferable to a lawsuit, both because it is usually far less expensive, and because it is not public. But, mediation is voluntary and, if the parties don't come to an agreement with the assistance of the neutral mediator, there is nothing from the mediation that can be enforced. That leaves the parties with a lawsuit or, if the parties agree (or if the contract provides for it) arbitration might be used instead of a lawsuit. Arbitration is often (but not always) less expensive. But, it will be confidential, whereas a lawsuit is a public matter. My dispute resolution provisions often include a stepped approach. Before a party is entitled to sue or initiate arbitration, they have to try to work it out between themselves for a specified period of time. Failing that, often I provide that mediation must be the next step. Only after that, if resolution by mediation fails, is arbitration or a lawsuit permitted. A good dispute resolution provision should include a number of other provisions, including: governing law, location of the proceeding (venue), forum (e.g., federal or state court, or AAA or JAMS as the arbitrator), number of arbitrators if applicable, rules of evidence and other rules in an arbitration if applicable, waiver of procedural defenses to venue and forum, a "loser pays" provision (or not), possibly a cap on "damages" (money the loser must pay), a contract-based statute of limitations, a finality provision (no appeals allowed), how and where an award under arbitration can be enforced ... among other considerations. Also, in many cases you will want a carefully prepared "equitable remedies" provision that is separate from any other dispute resolution provisions. This would allow a party to go to a court to ask the court not for money, but for force the other party to do or not do something. This often covers things like confidentiality, non-disparagement, indemnification, misuse by one party of property owned by the other, or other situations where payment of money is not applicable or won't be enough. Finally, these days, it is not a bad idea to include a specific provision allowing remote proceedings during any time and place where governing authorities have declared a health emergency related to a contagion ... or even just where an in-person proceeding can fairly be substituted with technology like Zoom to help keep costs down and otherwise for general convenience of the parties and "judicial economy."

Asset Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 12, 2023

Can I back out of an asset purchase agreement?

I recently entered into an asset purchase agreement with another party to purchase a piece of equipment. Since then, I have had second thoughts about the agreement and now want to back out. I am concerned about the legal implications of this decision and want to understand what my options are.

Sarah S.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

The ability to terminate a contract largely hinges on the language within the contract you've entered into. It's advisable to seek legal counsel and have an attorney thoroughly examine your contract. In addition, there are legal doctrines in common law, such as impossibility or impracticality of performance, which might provide grounds for contract termination under certain circumstances. It's essential to consult with a legal expert to assess the specifics of your situation and explore any potential defenses or options available to you.
