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.
Business Contracts
Lead Generation Agreement
California
Is a Lead Generation Agreement legally binding if it was signed electronically?
I recently entered into a Lead Generation Agreement with a marketing company to generate leads for my business. The agreement was signed electronically using an online platform. However, I have concerns about the validity and enforceability of the agreement since it was not signed in person. I would like to know if a Lead Generation Agreement signed electronically holds the same legal weight as a traditional, physically signed agreement.
Tabetha H.
Yes, your electronically signed Lead Generation Agreement is legally binding. Electronic signatures have the same legal weight as handwritten signatures under federal laws like the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and state laws adopting the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). These laws specifically ensure that contracts cannot be denied enforcement solely because they use electronic signatures. The key requirements are your intent to sign, consent to do business electronically, and proper record retention—all typically handled by reputable e-signature platforms. Your Lead Generation Agreement is just as enforceable as a paper contract, provided both parties intended to create a binding agreement and the essential contract elements are present.
Business Contracts
Business Plan
California
Can a business plan be legally binding?
I am in the process of developing a business plan for a new venture and I want to ensure that the commitments and agreements outlined in the plan are legally enforceable. I have heard conflicting opinions on whether a business plan can be considered a legally binding contract, and I am seeking clarification on this matter to ensure that I am taking the necessary steps to protect my interests and the interests of my potential business partners.
Dawn K.
Hi- the business plan is being developed for whom? For your own planning to execute the first phases of your business? For financing? IF you want to have a legally binding agreement, there are specific rules- particularly around who are the specific parties to the agreement and what the specific performance is required for each side to complete. Often a business plan is just that- a plan for a business. Market research, competitive analysis, product/ service differentiation, etc. It will likely have forecasts based on market intelligence and industry- but it is not directed at one or even a few other people. IF after the plan is completed, you enter into a partnership agreement with specific items that each party agrees to do, that is a different document. Business plans are typically flexible and able to adapt to changing market conditions. Contracts are "you do A, I will do B" so that we know exactly what a "breach" is. Even if contracts are modified or amended- there are clear terms that outline who does what. So, depending on the style and purpose of your plan, it may not legally bind specific people to do specific things. And that would be the key difference in a plan vs a legally binding agreement.
Business Contracts
Influencer Agreement
California
Can an influencer agreement be terminated if the influencer fails to meet certain performance metrics?
I am a brand owner and I recently entered into an influencer agreement with a social media influencer to promote my products on their platforms. The agreement stated that the influencer would receive a certain fee and incentives based on their performance metrics, such as reach, engagement, and sales generated. However, the influencer has consistently failed to meet these metrics, resulting in minimal impact on my brand's visibility and sales. As the brand owner, I am concerned about the effectiveness of the agreement and the negative impact it may have on my business. Can I terminate the influencer agreement due to the influencer's failure to meet the agreed-upon performance metrics?
Rhea d.
If your company wishes to terminate the agreement, the term and termination section of the agreement will cover certain terms (such as the term period, the right to terminate without cause or for breach). If the agreement covers termination without cause, either party can termination. If the agreement is for a certain term period, it may be challenging if you cannot show breach or material breach. If the influencer did not perform in accordance with the description of services, you may have a right to terminate. There may be other terms throughout the agreement which may be in your favor. Please keep in mind that many agreements favor the party who proposed the agreement. Best to have an attorney review the agreement and give you advice regarding options that may be available.
Business Contracts
Noncompete Agreement
California
Noncompete agreement time restrictions?
I am an entrepreneur who recently signed a Noncompete Agreement with a potential business partner, and I am looking to gain a better understanding of the time restrictions that are in place. I am concerned that the terms of the agreement may prevent me from pursuing other opportunities in the future and want to make sure I am aware of all the restrictions before making any decisions.
Gagandeep K.
The non-compete agreement will likely specify the non-compete period/time restriction. If that is not obviously stated, you should consider having an attorney review the non-compete agreement. Typically, a non-compete agreement in a partnership or LLC places a geographic limitation for a certain time period such that the partner/member is prevented from carrying-on a similar business in a geographic area where the partnership/LLC has done and continues to do business.
