Business Contracts
International Contract
California
Can a party terminate an international contract due to force majeure?
I am a small business owner based in the United States and I have recently entered into an international contract with a supplier in China to provide raw materials for my manufacturing process. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the global supply chain has been severely disrupted, causing significant delays and making it impossible for the supplier to fulfill their obligations under the contract. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the contract based on force majeure and what potential legal consequences or liabilities I may face if I do so.
Norman R.
Whether an international contract may be terminated due to force majeure depends on whether the contract includes a "force majeure clause" that defines those events that are beyond the control of either party and would render contract performance impossible. Typical force majeure events could include, war, natural or man-made disasters, "acts-of-god", civil turmoil, etc. Disruptions to global supply chains due to the Covid-19 pandemic could be considered a force majeure event if it is identified as such in the force majeure clause of the contract. To determine the legal consequences and liabilities of terminating the contract the contract should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer to evaluate: whether supply chain disruptions due to Covid-19 qualifies as a force majeure event; whether there are notice requirements for declaring a force majeure event; whether the notice requirements (if any) have been properly satisfied; whether the Party declaring a force majeure event must take mitigating actions, etc. You should consult with a qualified lawyer to determine specific legal consequences and liabilities based on the actual terms of your contract.

Partnership Agreement
California
Can a partnership agreement be modified without the consent of all partners?
I am currently a partner in a small business with two other individuals, and we have a partnership agreement in place that outlines our rights, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangements. However, I have recently been approached by one of the partners who wants to make significant changes to the agreement, including altering the profit-sharing percentages and the decision-making process. I am concerned about the potential impact these changes could have on my rights and the overall stability of the partnership. Therefore, I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the partnership agreement to be modified without the unanimous consent of all partners, and what steps I can take to protect my interests in this situation.
Lorraine C.
I understand your concern regarding modification of an existing partnership agreement. However, the answer is "it depends," which no client wants to hear. The specific terms of the partnership agreement would control whether modification without unanimous consent was proper -- and the only way to make that determination is to have an attorney review the partnership agreement and advise you. I hope this helps! Lorraine Coats, Esq.
Business Contracts
Artist Management Agreement
California
Can you please explain the key terms and clauses that should be included in an Artist Management Agreement?
I am an aspiring musician who has recently been approached by a talent manager who wants to represent me and help advance my career. While I am excited about this opportunity, I have heard horror stories about artists being taken advantage of by unscrupulous managers. I want to ensure that I am protected and have a fair agreement in place, so I would like to understand the essential terms and clauses that should be included in an Artist Management Agreement to safeguard my interests and outline the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.
Dolan W.
Hello! Congrats on this! You should be excited and cautious at the same time. So there are a few things to consider: 1. You have to be clear about the manager's duties. You have to outline what the manager is going to do, such as booking gigs, securing recording deals, handling publicity and promotion, negotiating contracts, and advising on career decisions. You must also be clear on what you will do, such as fulfilling performance obligations, creating music, etc. 2. It needs a specific duration of the agreement, like 1 to 5 years. Consider starting with a shorter term to assess the manager's performance before committing for a longer period. You should also have a provision regarding termination of the agreement, such as if the manager doesn't do their job. 3. You need compensation information. Usually, it's something like the manager gets 10 to 20% of whatever the value of it is you book every month. 4. Specify whether the manager will be the artist's exclusive representative for all professional activities or whether the artist can engage other managers or agents for specific purposes and also include who owns the intellectual property. Best of luck to you on this!
Business Contracts
Settlement Agreement
California
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.
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.
Business Contracts
Work Order
California
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.
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.
