"Matthew was absolutely excellent to work with. He responded to our project request immediately, was always available via text, phone, or email to answer any questions, and handled our demand letter quickly and efficiently. We got a response same-day as a result of Matthew's demand letter, and we had a check in our hands within a few short weeks of hiring him. He even offered to handle a few additional things, like negotiations and document signing, and finalizing the settlement. Would highly recommend Matthew for your legal needs!"

Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Contracts

Content Creator Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 9, 2024

Can a content creator agreement be terminated by the platform without prior notice or warning?

I am a content creator who has been using a popular online platform to showcase and monetize my work for the past year. Recently, without any prior notice or warning, the platform terminated my content creator agreement, effectively shutting down my account and removing all my content from the platform. This has caused significant financial loss and distress, as I heavily relied on the platform for income. I would like to know if the platform had the right to terminate my agreement without any notice or warning, and if there are any legal remedies available to me in this situation.

Jonathan W.

Answered Sep 10, 2024

Depends on what the content creator agreement with the platform says about termination. It likely has the platform covered. If they didn't follow the terms of the agreement, you might have a claim. The claim may be limited in damages as most of these contracts, if well written, have limitations on damages under the contract.

Repayment Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 19, 2024

Can a repayment agreement be enforced if it was made verbally and not in writing?

I recently loaned a significant amount of money to a friend in need, and we agreed on a repayment plan where they would pay me back in monthly installments. However, we did not put this agreement in writing, and it was purely a verbal agreement. Now, my friend is refusing to make the payments, and I'm wondering if I have any legal recourse to enforce the repayment agreement even though it was not formalized in writing.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

I'm so sorry about your situation! My name is Dolan. 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.) Parties can also seek '"specific performance" of the agreement under section 3388 of the civil code. 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. My recommendation? Consider sending a demand letter. I have a template I drafted that you can use here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 Best of luck to you! So you can send this in any way want. It can be text, email, certified mail, or in person. I usually send letters via email because it’s faster and cheaper.

Business Contract

California

Asked on Sep 21, 2023

Reviewing a business contract: cost?

I am starting a new business and need to enter into a contract with a supplier. I have been provided with a contract to review, but I am unsure of the associated costs. I am looking for legal advice on the cost of reviewing the contract and whether there are any potential pitfalls or areas of risk that I should be aware of before signing.

Eddy M.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

The cost will depend on several factors: - Length of the document - Quality of the contract (if it's poorly drafted then it will require more work to revise) - Complexity of the transaction (the more complex, the more time is needed to understand it and solve problems) - Your leverage vs. the supplier's (if you don't much leverage, then the contract will require a lighter touch as far as revisions) The best course of action is to do an initial consultation with your lawyer of choice to discuss the above. After that, the lawyer will be able to give you a sense of the cost, and make a proposal on either an hourly rate or a flat fee.

Severance Agreement

California

Asked on Jul 21, 2023

Can a severance agreement be digital?

I recently accepted a voluntary severance package from my employer and have been asked to sign a severance agreement. I am curious if this agreement can be signed digitally, as I am not currently in the same city as my employer. I am looking for advice on the legalities of digital agreements and any potential risks associated with signing a severance agreement digitally.

Christina M.

Answered Jul 27, 2023

In 1999 the California Legislature enacted the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (the “UETA”), Civ. Code, §§ 1633.1 et seq., which provides that when a law requires a record to be in writing or requires a signature, an electronic record or signature satisfies the law. The law requires that any contract entered into between two parties may not be denied legal enforceability simply because of the use of an electronic signature. This has also be upheld in the employment law setting in some case law.

Contractor Agreement

California

Asked on Apr 15, 2025

Can a contractor agreement be modified without written consent?

I recently entered into a contractor agreement with a company to provide my services for a specific project, but the company has now informed me that they want to make changes to the terms of the agreement, including the scope of work and payment terms, without obtaining my written consent. I am unsure if they have the legal right to modify the agreement without my agreement and would like to understand my rights in this situation.

Dawn K.

Answered Apr 26, 2025

Without seeing the terms in question, this is a general contracts answer: 1. Does the contract itself specify how it can be modified, changed or amended? If so, the contract itself should tell you whether this is okay. 2. If the contract doesn't state how, it can usually be modified, changed or amended, if you both have "mutual" agreement to change any terms, and in writing. 3. If they are trying to change it on their side only, and it is not permitted in the original agreement, this may not be allowed and depending on the terms to be changed, and to what extent, it may be some level of breach. Again, I do not have the contract, but I understand the terms to be changed include scope and payment, which may be enough of a change from the original agreement to potentially create a new one to substitute- with your consent. Hope this helps.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

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.
