Business Contracts
Asset Purchase Agreement
California
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.
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.

Business Purchase Agreement
California
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.
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.
Business Contracts
Software License
California
What invalidates a perpetual software license?
What would invalidate a perpetual S/W license under a user agreement that was purchased over 20 years by the customer under a services contract for a unique legacy test system still in use? Would the customer be required to purchase an annual subscription S/W license under a new contract when they are not receiving any additional enhancements, features or benefits for legacy S/W maintenance, training or upgrades since it in stalled on legacy Linux operating system computer workstations? This legacy S/W still operates under it intended use and functions correctly as advertised. Replacing the legacy S/W with new subscription S/W license would also force the customer to purchase new computer H/W at an additional cost and impact other legacy H/W and S/W that interfaces the legacy perpetual S/W. This would create additional S/W develop to test and modify existing code to validate the change would still meet it original intent and test capability. I am curious if this proposal would violate any federal acquisition or ethics rules in attempting to force the customer to pay for a S/W license that are not required to perform its current function providing no additional value because the company has changed their business rules to follow the current trend to charge customers for subscription based S/W license? Their justification is they are charging another customer an annual subscription S/W license so we should also be required to go along with their new business rules.
Octavia P.
A perpetual license generally authorizes use of a specific version of a software program indefinitely with the payment of a single upfront fee. However, software companies usually limit supplemental support and updates to a specific time (i.e., three years) and when that period ends, gives the customer the option to use the current version with or without paid support. Consequently, if there is a perpetual license in place your company should be free to continue to use your particular version of the software indefinitely without the requirement to move to a subscription-based plan unless your company requires tech support or any type of update/upgrade to continue to use the software which does not seem to be the case here. Nevertheless, the original user agreement and any ancillary agreements should be reviewed to determine factors such as the actual type of license and the powers/rights of the software vendor and your company to terminate or invalidate the license. If you would like a legal review of the user agreement/services contract you can post a contract review project on this platform, based on your question, to receive and compare multiple proposals from licensed attorneys who are registered and verified. Once you receive a response from an attorney you will be able to correspond through the platform to help with your decision to hire that attorney for the project.
Business Contracts
Non-Competition Agreement
California
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.
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.
Business Contracts
Non-disclosure And Confidentiality Agreement
California
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.
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!

View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
