Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 18, 2023

Can a business purchase agreement be verbal?

I am in the process of purchasing a business and am currently in negotiations with the seller. I am trying to understand the legal requirements for a business purchase agreement. Can a business purchase agreement be verbal or does it need to be in writing? I'm looking for clarification on this as I want to ensure that all parties involved are legally protected.

Brian W.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

Business purchase agreements need to be in writing. It will protect you and each party. Let me know if you need assistance in drafting the agreement.

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.
