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.

Business Contracts

Settlement Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 10, 2021

When does a non-disparagement clause end?

8.2 Continuing Obligations of Contractor. The provisions of Sections 1.3, 1.4, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7.2, and 8 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. 9. Additional Provisions. 9.1 Non-Disparagement. Both Parties agree that they shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any conduct or make any statement, whether in commercial or noncommercial speech, disparaging or criticizing in any way of the other Party, or any of its affiliates or clients or any of their respective owners, officers, employees or agents or services offered by any of them, nor shall either Party engage in any other conduct or make any other statement whether in writing, verbally or on-line, that could be reasonably expected to impair the goodwill or reputation of the other Party or any of its affiliates or clients. 9.2 Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of this Agreement, Contractor shall not, without the prior written consent of Company, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, employ or otherwise engage the services of employees or individual consultants of the Company. This subsection shall not apply to general solicitations, public job postings, or newspaper advertisements for employment opportunities.

JOSEPH L.

Answered Sep 28, 2021

Since Section 9, Non-Disparagement, is not listed as one of the sections that "survives termination of this Agreement" it is arguable that once the Agreement terminates pursuant to the termination clause of the Agreement then the Non-Disparagement restriction will terminate as well. If no term is stated in a written agreement then presumably the restriction on disparaging that the parties agree to is not terminated, since the contract did not specify one, and therefore is a continuing obligation of both parties. Damages is another issue though. If the contract does not specify damages if one party breaches the agreement by disparaging the other, then what are the damages? Courts hate to guess at damages so the non-breaching party would have to prove "actual damages". If the non-breaching party cannot prove a loss of business or a lost contract with a client as a "direct result" of the disparaging comment, then the court will not guess at damages so the most the non-breaching party may hope to gain is an injunction against future disparaging comments and an order that such comments be removed from the internet, if that is where the comments appear.

Building Lease

California

Asked on Nov 21, 2023

Are pets allowed under a building lease?

I am currently in the process of renting an apartment in a building that has a strict lease agreement. I have a pet that I would like to bring with me, but I am not sure if the lease agreement allows for it. I am looking for clarification on whether pets are allowed under the building lease so that I can decide if I am able to rent the apartment.

Alexis L.

Answered Dec 15, 2023

Whether you are allowed pets or not would be dependent on the actual language in the lease. One would have to review the entirety of the lease and lease provisions to answer for sure. Certain lease provisions will address if pets are allowed or not.

Non-disclosure And Confidentiality Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 21, 2023

Business contract confidentiality clause?

I am a business owner in the process of signing a contract with a new vendor. We have agreed on the terms of the contract, but I am concerned about the confidentiality clause. I need to ensure that the vendor is not able to share the details of the contract with other businesses or individuals that could potentially be in competition with us. I want to know what can be done to ensure that the confidentiality clause of the contract is enforced.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 31, 2023

A business might use a non-disclosure agreement (sometimes called an "NDA," a "Confidential Disclosure Agreement," or a "CDA") to prevent others from disclosing its confidential information. Confidential information includes the business' trade secrets, as well as other proprietary information that does not constitute trade secrets. Generally, there are two main types of non-disclosure agreements. In a unilateral non-disclosure agreement, one party agrees not to disclose the other party's confidential information. In a mutual non-disclosure agreement, both parties agree not to disclose each other's confidential information. It is usually best to execute a non-disclosure agreement prior to the disclosure of confidential information. Disclosed information cannot be un-disclosed. Also, a party that has already received confidential information without restrictions might have little to no incentive to sign a non-disclosure agreement after the fact. For advice on or assistance with a non-disclosure agreement, speak with a knowledgeable business contract attorney. Good luck!

Business Contracts

Non-Competition Agreement

California

Asked on Jan 27, 2022

My previous job had a secret non-compete closure

I left my previous job because I did not appreciate how I was treated when returning from maternity leave. I stepped down because with a colic infant and a national staffing shortage I couldn’t handle the work load, right after I stepped down they changed the schedule to minimize stress for the current programs director. They also allowed employees to unprofessional to me, when I returned the employee I trained and managed for years lectured me how todo my current position and asked if I had any disabilities or injuries because I had a C-section. This company for years treated me differently then other employees even though I ran and managed profitable programs. Before I left I asked Premier Aquatics that I wanted to be placed in a position similar to the one I had before, and they didn’t have a position for me. I decided to resign and I want to work for another company near their location. I’ve known in the past that they do come after employees with a non-compete and they never offered me anything for the non-compete.

JOSEPH L.

Answered Feb 8, 2022

Generally speaking non-competes are not enforceable in California against employees or independent contractors. The situation may be different depending on all the facts if you were an equity owner or partner in the company. Also, when a business is sold, a reasonable non-compete is enforceable against the former owner(s) since they were paid as part of the purchase price for non-competition representations. California has long had a public policy against non-compete clauses against employees and independent contractors since it affects their ability to earn a living. I am not sure what information you have about them "coming after other employees". Note: I don't have all the facts, and this answer is for informational and research purposes only.
