Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Contracts

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.

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.

Indemnification Agreement

California

Asked on Aug 14, 2025

Is an indemnification agreement enforceable if it was signed under duress?

I signed an indemnification agreement with my employer after being threatened with termination if I didn't comply, and now I am facing potential liability for a work-related accident. I am wondering if the agreement is enforceable since I signed it under duress, and if I can be held responsible for the damages despite the circumstances surrounding the signing of the agreement.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 8, 2025

An indemnification agreement signed under duress may not be enforceable, but whether it can be voided depends on the specific facts of your case and the law in your jurisdiction. Contract law requires voluntary consent. If consent is obtained through coercion, the agreement is generally considered voidable by the party placed under duress. Legal Standard for Duress Courts recognize two main forms of duress. Physical duress involves threats of bodily harm and is the clearest ground to void a contract. Economic duress occurs when someone is pressured into signing due to wrongful or coercive economic threats. The threat of termination can sometimes qualify, but courts apply a high standard. They will look at factors such as whether you had any reasonable alternatives, whether the employer acted in bad faith, and whether the circumstances left you with no meaningful choice but to sign. For example, if you were told you’d be fired unless you signed immediately, with no chance to review the document or seek advice, that kind of artificial urgency could support a duress claim. On the other hand, if you were given time to consider the agreement and could have reasonably sought other employment, courts are less likely to find duress. Employment-at-Will Context Most states follow the at-will employment doctrine, which allows employers to terminate employees for almost any reason that is not illegal. Because of that, courts often treat workplace ultimatums as business pressure rather than wrongful coercion. However, the doctrine doesn’t give employers unlimited power. If the termination threat was used specifically to force you to assume liability for risks the employer is legally responsible for, that can be considered improper and may render the agreement voidable. Shifting Liability to Employees Indemnification clauses in employment contracts are closely scrutinized because employers generally bear the legal duty to maintain safe workplaces. Federal law under the Occupational Safety and Health Act requires employers, not employees, to ensure workplace safety. Courts in many states have refused to enforce agreements that shift liability for workplace accidents from the employer to the employee, especially if the employer is in a better position to insure against those risks. For example, California Civil Code §1668 voids contracts that exempt a party from responsibility for violations of law or duties owed to the public. Similar public policy principles apply in other states. Practical Challenges Even if duress can be established, you may still need to demonstrate that the indemnification terms themselves were unreasonable or unconscionable. Courts will often look at whether the agreement was one-sided, whether you had a meaningful opportunity to negotiate, and whether the employer sought to impose obligations that are inconsistent with public policy. Next Steps If you’re facing liability based on this indemnification clause, it’s important to preserve all evidence of how the agreement was presented to you. Keep records of emails, conversations, or witnesses that can confirm the circumstances of the signing. An employment or contract attorney in your state can evaluate whether the clause is enforceable, raise duress or unconscionability as defenses, and, if necessary, argue that public policy prevents shifting liability to you. On Contracts Counsel, you can connect with experienced contract attorneys who can review your agreement, consider the circumstances surrounding it, and guide you on your next steps.

Settlement Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 17, 2023

Can we renegotiate a settlement agreement?

I recently entered into a settlement agreement with the other party in a dispute, but now I believe that the terms of the agreement are no longer fair and equitable. As such, I am looking to renegotiate the agreement. I have attempted to discuss this with the other party, but they have not been receptive to the idea. I am now seeking legal advice to determine if there is any way to renegotiate the agreement and what the best course of action would be.

Joseph M.

Answered Jan 26, 2024

If you enter into a binding contract you have to honour the terms unless there was fraud, mistake or misrepresentation as a basis to set aside or renegotiate.

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.
